Description
This macromolecules reading comprehension is a clear and approachable way to help high school biology students understand the four major biological macromolecules, their structures, building blocks, and roles in living organisms.
Perfect for high school biology students, this macromolecules activity uses scaffolded reading support, helpful diagrams, chunked text-dependent questions, labeling practice, multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and a graphic organizer to guide students through the key ideas.
Students will learn about the significance of carbon, monomers, polymers, and polymerization. They will also compare carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids by examining their elements, structures, functions, examples, and sources in the human diet.
Two bonus text-dependent macromolecules worksheets are also included to give students additional practice applying and reviewing the key concepts.
