Hey there blog readers... If you are a loyal Daily Serving of Science reader- here is your chance to score some extra credit on your upcoming Carbon Compounds quiz.
All you have to do is come up to me in the beginning of the class and hand me a piece of paper with the following information.
1) your name
2) the period you have science
3) the sentence "Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly."
Due in class on 10/10/12

EQ: "What is a nucleotide?"
VOCAB: nucelotide
HOMEWORK: Define vocab words (29 total)
CLASS RECAP: Today in class, students started by reviewing their 29 vocab words and identifying the words they were unfamiliar with. We spent time reviewing these words as a class to reinforce their definition. Then we reviewed some information about proteins and took the rest of the protein notes from the Carbon Compounds powerpoint. Then students learned about nucleic acids. At the end of the class, we spent time reviewing the biochemisry vocabulary words.

EQ:"How do we polymerize macromolecules?"
VOCAB: Dehydration synthesis, Hydrolysis reaction
HOMEWORK: Read section 2.3 and answer questions 1-3 on page 49.
CLASS RECAP: Today students created graphic organizers from the terms monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides that we learned yesterday. Students listed three examples of each of these types of carbohydrates.
Students then learned about dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions. Students took notes in their Carbon Compounds notes packets.
(Some sections had time to start the Macromolecule Review worksheet)

EQ: "How do monomers and polymers relate to biology?"
VOCAB:monomer, polymer
HOMEWORK: none
CLASS RECAP: Today students started class by finishing the graphic organizer of organic compounds that we left class with yesterday. Then students learned about how there are four categories of organic compounds (Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids). Each of these categories are large macromolecules that are also known as polymers. Polymers are made up of many repeated units called monomers.
Students took notes on Carbohydrates and learned that Carbohydrates are composed of sugars. Students each took on the role of a sugar molecule (either glucose, galactose, or fructose).
At the end of the period, students practiced what they learned in a game called Carbon and Compounds.

EQ: "What does organic actually mean?"
VOCAB: organic
HOMEWORK: Post lab questions due tomorrow
CLASS RECAP: Today students played a review game to review for the water quiz. After taking the quiz, students learned that the word organic actually means "anything that contains carbon". Students started to create the first part of a thought web about carbon compounds. We will finish the web tomorrow in class.
