Macromolecules

After a short quiz to wrap up chemistry and chapter 2, students were introduced to chapter 3 on the molecules of life. Rather than have me lecture on the material, students will teach each other. Each group will need to have a handout, visual and give an 8 minute oral explanation of one of the sections below. Students have been given a list of key points to address in each section as well as a rubric for their projects. A block will present their lessons on Thursday (9.18) and D and C blocks will present on Friday (9.19).
