LESSON PLAN
Lesson: Chemical Reactions + Catabolism/Anabolism
Number of Meetings: 1
Behavioral Objectives: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to: a.) Relate chemical reactions with metabolism b.) Identify the major components of a chemical reaction c.) Describe at least one everyday example of an endergonic and exergonic reaction d.) Relate the breakdown and formations of organic molecules to catabolic or anabolic reactions

Lesson Proper:
Topic/ Content | Teacher’s Activity | Students’ Activity | Materials | Time | Chemical Reactions | Recall to students the common examples of chemical reactions which were already used in class: Acid + base - Salt + Water or HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O Here, HCl + NaOH are called as the reactants while NaCl + H2O are the products. Tell students that chemical reactions do not occur only in a laboratory. Even at home, many chemical reactions occur. Ask students for some example. Possible answers/additional answers: Burning wood, lighting a stove, rusting of iron, cooking of egg. Shortly recall evidence of a chemical reaction.-color change, temperature changeSome reactions occur spontaneously and some occur non-spontaneously. Define. For a reaction to occur, the molecules of each of the reactants must collide or interact with one another. We know from previous lessons that molecules/particles are always constantly moving. And this is due to their kinetic energy. So for a reaction to occur and for the molecules to collide, there must be sufficient Kinetic Energy. | Listen, answer questions | Whiteboard Marker, Whiteboard | 20 mins | | Now, why are we studying chemical reactions for a biology class?
