Students Explore Biological Macromolecules and Mystery Liquids
 

By Mrs. Sarah Path, Science Teacher

 

In Biology, students are investigating biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) and working in small groups to teach their peers about the specific macromolecule they studied. We'll soon apply our newfound knowledge to an exploration of cell structure and function.

 

Read more about biological macromolecules at https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-biology-foundations/hs-biological-macromolecules/a/hs-biological-macromolecules-review.

 

In Chemistry, we explored "mystery liquids" and their characteristics last week as an entry into our discussion of the properties of matter and our study of atoms, elements, and the periodic table.
