So here it is, second 6 weeks, second Pre-AP Bio Projects (no groaning!) The links below lead you to download the project instructions and the grading rubric.
In summary, you and possibly a partner are creating a skit, powerpoint or video to show the digestion of a bite of food, its absorption, and the jobs those nutrients in the body. You are not going to describe the digestion of everything in that food, just one of four macromolecules (protein, carbohydrate, lipid, cholesterol).

Let the discussions begin! Oh, and to keep there from being a million threads, I will just update what I have written here.

okay, i signed up for the sterol thing and i have nooo idea what im looking up.
ReplyDeleteSo you are talking about the digestion of cholestrol (first part), and how sterols, like cholesterol and steroid hormones work in the body (5 jobs part).
ReplyDeletei dont know what to do for the 5 jobs in the body carbohydrates!!! i cant find anything on carbs in the respiratory systen or ciculatory system or any system.
ReplyDeletei don't kno wat to do for the jobs part for carbohydrates. i found jobs but they had nothing to to with the respitory, circulatory, and endocrine systems.
ReplyDeletei don't know what to do for the job for maintaining internal balance.i've looked all over the internet and i can't find anything.
ReplyDeletei also don't know what to do for the job from the model animal cell.
does the heart need protein?
ReplyDeleteCarbs can do things like provide energy for muscles (and we talked about some important muscles in the circulatory and respiratory systems). Part of their labeling cells job can help hormones find the right cell.
ReplyDeleteEvery job of every biomolecule helps the body maintain internal balance, you just have to tell me how. For instance, hormones control heart and breathing rates, proteins digest foods to be used later for energy, etc.
The heart is a muscle--it's made of protein! And it gets its oxygen from little protein carriers called hemoglobin.

ReplyDeletethis is Kaleigh and Courtney... we are working on the project and we dont know what you want us to do about the 3-D picture. do we make it or get a picture off the internet?
hey whats poppin ms. rowan,
ReplyDeletei got a question?
umm "4. A picture, animation, or performance (act it out) of your biomolecule doing its new job with a 4-5 sentence job description.
5. An analysis of how the job you pick for your biomolecule contributes to the body maintaining internal balance at a cellular level, the organ system level, or at the whole body level."
i dont get it!
The 3-D picture can be online or you can make a model. An example of 3-D would be like those balloon string-looking pictures from the powerpoint.
ReplyDeleteJohn--Tell me how the heart pumping blood, or lipids making up cell membranes, or carbs labeling cells are important to my whole body.
we are doing protien, i dont get the 3d thing it makes absoulutly no since!
ReplyDeleteThe ballon stuff like the sperm?
ReplyDelete??? No like this...
ReplyDeleteSry, click on my name above to follow the link.
ReplyDeletemiss rowan
ReplyDeleteabout how many slides do want us to make?
miss rowan
ReplyDeletefor number 5 are we analyzing the job that we chose for number 4?
On our project plan we planned out 10-12 slides.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are analyzing one of your 5 jobs that you picked in instruction #4.
