   View Standards     Standard(s): [DLIT] (9-12) 6 :
R6) Produce, review, and revise authentic artifacts that include multimedia using appropriate digital tools.

[SC2015] BIOL (9-12) 1 :
1 ) Use models to compare and contrast how the structural characteristics of carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids define their function in organisms.

Subject: Digital Literacy and Computer Science (9 - 12), Science (9 - 12)
Title: Biological Molecules Mind Map
Description:

Students will create a "mind map" or a concept map using an online concept mapping software to outline the four main types of biological molecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The students' mind map will compare and contrast the four main divisions of biological molecules.

This resource is a result of the ALEX Resource Development Summit.



   View Standards     Standard(s): [LIT2010] HIS (9-10) 1 :
1 ) Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources, attending to such features as the date and origin of the information.

[SC2015] BIOL (9-12) 1 :
1 ) Use models to compare and contrast how the structural characteristics of carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids define their function in organisms.

[DLIT] (9-12) 5 :
R5) Locate and curate information from digital sources to answer research questions.

Title: Enzyme Research Lab
Description:

Students will research the role of enzymes and how their deficiencies can affect living things.

This activity was created as a result of the ALEX Resource Development Summit.

Title: You Are What You Eat
Description:

Students are introduced to the four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids). The video “You Are What You Eat” discusses the biological macromolecules and their role in the body and the food that we eat. The website also includes a chart comparing and contrasting the structural characteristics of the four macromolecules and an explanation of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis. 

This activity was created as a result of the ALEX Gap Resource Development Summit.
