Rating
0.0 stars

This seminar contains resources to explore why carbon is the basis for all life forms.  Activities show how the structural characteristics of carbon allow it to be both efficient and versatile to form the basis of all life.  A learning  lab creates a visual discovery of  the unique bonding capacity of the carbon atom and how it can create a variety of biological structures that support life.  StandardsBIO.A.2.2.1 Explain how carbon is uniquely suited to form biological macromolecules.

In this project, you will explore a real-world problem, and then work through a series of steps to analyze that problem, research ways the problem could be solved, then propose a possible solution to that problem. Often, there are no specific right or wrong solutions, but sometimes one particular solution may be better than others. The key is making sure you fully understand the problem, have researched some possible solutions, and have proposed the solution that you can support with information / evidence.Begin by reading the problem statement in Step 1. Take the time to review all the information provided in the statement, including exploring the websites, videos and / or articles that are linked. Then work on steps 2 through 8 to complete this problem-based learning experience.

The seminar contains information and experiences that demonstrate how atoms are the fundamental chemical unit from which life is constructed. The understanding of basic chemical principles follow life to its most complex form.  The included resources will show how the structure of atoms leads to the building of compounds and the new properties contribute to the new structures.BIO.A.2.1.1 Describe the unique properties of water and how these properties support life on Earth (e.g., freezing point, high specific heat, cohesion).BIO.A.2.2.1 Explain how carbon is uniquely suited to form biological macromolecules.

This learning seminar contains activities to investigate how the the properties of water are derived from the nature of the polar covalent bond. The various information pathways will allow the learner to demonstrate how the properties of water affect living organisms that have evolved on earth.StandardsBIO.A.2.1.1 Describe the unique properties of water and how these properties support life on Earth (e.g., freezing point, high specific heat, cohesion).
