Reminders: Lab Write up due today by 11:59 PM. Sharing it with me through google docs. Discussion board 4 is posted due Friday at 11:59 PM.

Materials: Macromolecule PPT. Foldable sheet and plain paper.

First 20 minutes: In the computer lab to put finishing touches on lab write up and submit it.

Starter: How do you differentiate between a dehydration and hydrolysis reaction? Name the 4 major macromolecules.

Go over starter.

Lesson:

Check for understanding from yesterday. Have the students look through their notes we took yesterday and write 2 to 3 questions that they want clarified. Give them an example of a question (What is the difference between a monomer and polymer?). When the students are done with their questions, have them ask their group members to see if they can answer the questions. If they can't, have them ask the whole class the question. If the class can't answer it then I will re-explain it.

After the question writing, begin the macromolecule ppt. Identify and explain the function, structure, and give examples of each of the 4 major macromolecules. After I am finished with carbohydrates, pass out a plain sheet of paper and explain the foldable. There will be 4 tabs for each of the 4 macromolecules. After each one is discussed, pause and have them fill out the information on the foldable (macromolecule, function, diagram, and examples). When the students are finished then move on to the next macromolecule.
