LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 10

Date: February 01, 2017

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
a. Identify major categories of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins
and nucleic acids
b. Differentiate the biomolecules from each other in terms of their structure and
function.
c. Give importance on the food which are beneficial to human body

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Biomolecules
Lesson: Introduction of biomolecules
Materials: Power point, projector, laptop, visual aids

III. LESSON PROPER

 Preliminaries
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Checking of Attendance
A. Review
How much do you know about organic compounds?
B. Motivation
Why do you think it is important for us to eat nutritious foods?
C. Presentation of the Lesson
Unlocking the terms of biomolecules
 Activity
Divide and assign the class into 3 groups for classifying the
biomolecules
 Analysis
a. Were the students able to identify and differentiate the major
classes of biomolecules?
b. What is bio?
c. What is molecule?
d. What are the functions of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and
nucleic acids?
 Abstraction
The teacher will explain further about biomolecules and its
importance for living
 Carbohydrates: Function: main source of energy for all living
things. Organic compound composed of C, H, & O in a 1:2:1 ratio
Lipids: Organic compounds made up of C, H, & O, but not in any
fixed ratio. The building blocks of lipids are fatty acids. Lipids are
often called fats or oils, but are large macromolecules with 2
primary functions:
1. long term energy storage
2. building cell membranes.
Proteins: Organic compounds that contain C, H, O & N.
Every cell contains protein.
Functions of protein:
Used in structural components.
Messengers and receptors on the cell membrane
Defend against diseases
Act as facilitators for chemical reactions (ENZYMES)
Nucleic Acids: Organic molecule made up of C,H,O,N,& P
Nucleic acids are passed from parent to offspring, you get one
copy from each parent for a total of 2 complete sets.
Nucleic acids dictate amino acid sequence in proteins which in turn
control all life processes.
DNA forms the genes or units of genetic material that determine
your characteristics.
 Application

Explain to the learners why major categories of biomolecules are

important to life and allow also the students to elaborate and explain their
understanding about biomolecules.

IV. EVALUATION
Give a short quiz
V. ASSIGNMENT
1. In a whole sheet of paper, write down what foods which are belong to
carbohydrates, lipids, protein and nucleic acids.
2. Express your thoughts or learning about the activity
