Google celebrates inventor of Frederick Banting,
the doctor who first found a way to give insulin to patients with diabetes, nearly 100 years ago.
Banting's work, which saved the lives of millions of people
with diabetes, garnered the Canadian doctor the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1923.

Atoms-to-Organisms Poster Project

Keratin- twisting chain of atoms

RUBRIC: (what needs to be on your ATOMS TO ORGANISM Poster).
Due February 27, 2017

BACKGROUND RESEARCH:
1. Begin a ‘works cited’ list for this project.  Paste URLs as you find information.
2. Draw a sketch of your animal’s food chain- keep this chain as short as possible.  
Example: Sea Otter eats Sea Urchins which eat Kelp.
3.     Find 10+ interesting facts about your animal- particularly those related to physiology, metabolism, digestion, endocrine systems, toxins, etc (because you're going to try to eventually find a biomolecule that is important to your animal). 

4. Try to find ONE biomolecule that connects to your animal.

Many images of complex molecules are drawn to show the 3-d structure of the molecule and they do not show all the atoms that comprise that molecule.  Try to find a drawing that shows atoms- either as a line and stick drawing or as letters.

Here's a library of a few biomolecules I put together- PLEASE ASK FOR HELP if you're stuck.

FINAL PROJECT: Design a poster that demonstrates how ONE atom of carbon moves from the atmosphere, through the food chain, to your animal.
Big picture: you don't eat a carrot and become a carrot. 
Your body takes atoms you've eaten and rearranges them into the molecules that make up you.

Macromolecules Notes

this is a revised version of the macromolecules graphic organizer, filled out.  If you are struggling with these concepts, maybe easier to start with this than the giant slide show.
