Strategies for Improvement and Understanding Organic Molecules in Biology
This guide outlines essential strategies for tracking your academic growth and reflects on your post-test scores. It focuses on analyzing personal data to determine if you’ve improved, digressed, or stayed the same. Furthermore, it encourages you to develop a plan to enhance your learning through vocabulary development, tutoring, or participation in class. The guide also covers the basics of organic molecules, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, while presenting a collaborative project to deepen understanding of these concepts.

Presentation Transcript
Tracking & Reflection • Put your post-test score in the post test and 1.2.1 column • On a scrap piece of paper… • So what? You improved, digressed, stayed the same…elaborate on what you see when you look at your data • Now what? Detail a plan on what you can do to push yourself to the next level (vocab, tutoring, staying quiet in class…)
Unit 2 Pre assessment • 10 minutes • Not a grade, just a starting point for a large unit! • For us to see our growth!
Unit 2 Vocab • Due the day of Unit 2 Test • Enzyme • Catalyst • Activation energy (frayer) • pH • Carbohydrate(frayer) • Protein (frayer) • Lipid (frayer) • Nucleic acid (frayer)
Catalyst • What does the word “organic” mean to you? What does it make you think of? • Give an example of something acidic. Is it harmful? • If I told you I ate a lot of carbohydratesfor dinner, what types of food did I eat?
Molecules • Read the left box of information on page U2-1 • Answer the 3 questions in the right box Molecules are made of what? O2: 2 oxygens C9H8O4: 9 carbons, 8 hydrogens, 4 oxygens C8H10N4O2: 8 carbons, 10 hydrogens, 4 nitrogens, 2 oxygen
Organic vs. Inorganic Organic Inorganic NO carbon-hydrogen bond C -- H carbon – hydrogen bond C -- H
O or I?! ORGANIC
Organic Review What qualifies a molecule as being “Organic”? CARBON – HYDROGEN BONDS Carbon Hydrogen LIVING NONLIVING
Carbohydrates Sugars Starches Atkins Diet?
Carbohydrates Carb Loading Monosaccharide (glucose) Quick energy Benedict’s 1: 2 :1 Energy storage Iodine Pictures
Lipids brown paper bag long term fatty acids
What Should I eat? Carbohydratesand lipids store energy for different functions. Differentiate between starch, sugars, and fats by helping me decide what I should eat based on what I want to do. What should I eat if…. Explain why! • I want to swim 50 miles: • I want to run the 100 meter dash: • I want to prepare to live on a deserted island with little to no food:
Proteins body Shape N Biuret’s antibodies amino acids hormones enzymes
Proteins AMINO ACIDS
Proteins AMINO ACIDS
Proteins Subunit 2 (amino acid) Subunit 3 (amino acid) Subunit 1 (amino acid)
Nucleic Acids DNA & RNA
Nucleic Acids NO test Nucleus Genetic P nucleotides RNA & DNA Proteins
Nucleotides Nitrogenous base Phosphate Sugar
Organic Molecules Project • Due Monday, February 4th • Groups of 4 people • Instructions begin on page U2-3 in your packet • 4 parts to the project 1) Pre-Work (Checked off by the end of class!) 2) Model (Check point Friday) 3) Poster (Check point Monda) 4) Presentation (Check Point first thing Tuesday)
Organic Molecules Project • Rubric page U2-8 • Will be a test grade. • One group project grade. • Assign Roles. • Project Manager • Presentation lead • Model lead • Poster lead
Tracking Unit 1 Test Score
Retest? • See me at lunch or after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays. • Averages with previous score • You will track your NEW score • Need to have scored less an 80%
First Step… • Test Corrections • Rewrite question on a new sheet of paper • Add a reflection.
Reflection BiologyEOCGraduate HSCollegeBig Goal reflect reflect reflect
Reflection Ask questions like: “Am I on the right track?” “How can I improve?” “Did this study skill work for me?” “What are my weaknesses?” “How should I change?”
First Step… • Test Corrections • Rewrite question on a new sheet of paper • Add a reflection.
Monday Catalyst • What would be best for athlete need to eat in order to prepare for a 26-mile marathon? • What are proteins made out of? • What is the function of a Nucleic Acid? Quiz on Wed!
Organic Molecules Project • Due Wednesday, February 6th • Groups of 4 people • Instructions begin on first page in your packet • 4 parts to the project 1) Pre-Work (Checked off by Friday!) 2) Model (Check point Monday) 3) Poster (Check point Tuesday) 4) Presentation (Wednesday)
Organic Molecules Project • Rubric passed on today • Will be a test grade (individual) • One group project grade (group) • Assign Roles. • Project Manager • Presentation lead • Model lead • Poster lead 2 Grades!
Organic Molecules Project • Reminder by the end of the day your model must be checked off. • Tuesday will be to prepare our presentations. • If you need any supplies send your project manager to ask for them.
Tuesday Catalyst • What test is used to identify carbohydrates in a food? • What is the subunit for a carbohydrate? • What is the function of a lipid? • What elements compose (make up) a carbohydrate? Poster will be checked off by the end of class.
Organic Molecules Project • Reminder by the end of the day your poster must be checked off. • Wednesday will be to present our project. • If you need any supplies send your project manager to ask for them.
Wednesday Catalyst • What organic molecule would be found if we used Biuret’s fluid? • What is the difference between an organic and an inorganic molecule? • Which organic molecule is pictured below? • Presentation check off in 5 minutes.
Presentations • Each group will rotate through. • 2 minute presentations.
Mastery Quiz • Mastery Quiz 4.1.1 • 20 minutes
