Description
A super fun biomolecules project for your AP Biology or Honors Biology class. Students work individually or in partners/groups to create a four room display for the Biomolecules.
The 100 point rubric invites students to take an in-depth look at Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids -
- investigating their molecular structure
- each molecule’s directionality
- functional groups
- how the structure impacts the functions
- examples of each biomolecule
- their specific functions
Resource is 100% editable!
The biomolecules project is designed to be interactive, including ‘foldables’ - paper panels that can be pulled out or opened up, much like the interactive notebook elements that are so popular (and fun!).
Includes an eight page Google Slide deck with pictures of examples and instructions for making the four room base of the project. The instructions use a normal piece of copy paper, but to really fit all of the information into the project, it is best to use larger paper. I used bulletin board paper cut into 3’ x 3’ pieces. Each student (or group) needs four pieces of paper to make the four rooms.
I typically give my students a week (80 minute classes) to create the project. Honors/AP kids put a lot of effort into their work! If we run low on time, I extend the deadline so they can finish at home while we keep going in class. Or I align things so they can work on it over a break or long weekend.
Thank you for using Science of Curiosity! Take a look at the other resources available for AP Biology, as well as Biology, and Forensic Science.
