Organic and Inorganic molecules Ms. Blalock, Ms. Hartsell, and Mr. Luckman
Do Now • What are some differences AND similarities between water and sugar?
Today’s Agenda • At the end of this lesson, we will be able to: • Identify organic and inorganic molecules • Explain the difference between organic and inorganic molecules • Identify the four essential organic compounds that make up life • Aim: How can you identify the organic and inorganic molecules of life? How do I distinguish between these two molecules? • Agenda: • 1. Do Now • 2. Learning the terminology • 3. Introduction: Organic and Inorganic • 4. Activity 4: Organic vs. Inorganic • 5. Organic Compounds • 6. Activity 6: Poem and Song • 7. Activity 7: What did I really eat last night? • 8. Exit Ticket
Real Life Example: Ice Cream Analogy Elements Atom Compound Molecule
Most common elements in living organisms • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen • Nitrogen • CHON
Take it back to the Do Now Discuss with your partner: Using your understanding of organic and inorganic, how do sugar and water differ? How are they similar?
Activity 1: Identifying organic and inorganic • Directions: Identify each molecule/compound as organic or inorganic. • When finished, talk with your group about the following question: • Can you infer from their formulas which seem more complex, inorganic or organic compounds?
Activity 1: Identifying organic and inorganic Answers to Activity 1:
Building blocks Yesterday, we discussed how the basic building blocks of all living things are cells. The four classes of organic compounds also have basic building blocks.
Activity 2 (15 minutes) • Directions: Using one of the options below, identify and explain each of the four classes of organic compounds. • Option 1: Write a poem identifying and explaining the four classes of organic compounds • Option 2: Write a song identifying and explaining the four classes of organic compounds • In your poem or song, you must mention the following for each organic compound: • Make-up of the compound • ONE role of the compound • ONE example of the compound • Time: • 10 minutes to create song or poem • 5 minutes for whole class sharing
Activity 3 (5 minutes) Directions: 1. Make a list of the foods you ate last night for dinner or yesterday for lunch. 2. Categorize the foods into the following categories: - Carbohydrates - Proteins - Lipids - Nucleic Acids 3. Of those that contain proteins and nucleic acids, what are the building blocks of these foods? 4. Explain the relationship between a balanced, healthy diet and the consumption of these organic compounds.
