Content Videos (Lectures and animations to supplement lessons):
Interactives (Online activities for student interaction & practice with content):
- Biocoach Activity (this activity will help students review molecular formulas and models, major elements and their valences, and the important functional groups of biological molecules. It will also let students try their hand at building certain molecular models)
- Biomolecules and the Chemistry of Life (online reading for students to explore biomolecule topics in depth, including terms, roots, big themes and real world applications)
- Biomolecules: The Carbohydrates (students read a brief introduction to monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The processes for dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis are shown)
- Biomolecules: The Lipids (students examine neutral fats, phospholipids and cholesterol. The molecular formulas and general functions for each are shown)
- Biomolecules: The Proteins (students examine an introduction to protein structure and function)
- Biomolecules: The Nucleic Acids (student reading examining structure and role of nucleic acids)
Games (Online games for students to apply & test their content knowledge):
- Lipids, Proteins and Amino Acids Review Game (students have their choice of a soccer, basketball or game-show themed game that reviews the structure and components of amino acids, proteins and lipids.)
- Enzymatic! (students learn about enzymes by playing games, performing virtual experiments, and solving puzzles!)
- Venom! (In this game, students learn that the shape of a molecule is very important. It’s what makes it possible for proteins to interact with other parts of the cell. In this invader game, students will defend the cells of the body against molecules of scorpion venom using anti-venom)
- Glycolipid (in this game, students have to collect glycolipids with their cute cell and avoid touching bacteria)
