11/24/14 Biochemistry 2

Date: 11/24/14
Class: Chemistry
Periods: B1

Outcomes: Students will relate what they've learned in chemistry towards biological processes.

Standards: 9-12.P.1.5

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: One-Day Paper

Lesson Outline: Bellringer > Brief overview of intermolecular forces > All biological processes are chemical reactions of one kind or another. > Give directions for paper: describe the reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Where and what kind of energy is involved? What catalysts/enzymes are involved in each reaction and what specifically do they do? > Explain how complex photosynthesis is despite it's basic chemical equation.
