Week Lesson Strand Sub-strand Lesson Learning Outcomes Learning Experiences Key Inquiry Question(s) Learning Resources Assessment Reflection
5 1 Cell Biology and Biodiversity 1.4 Chemicals of Life By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
a) describe the composition, properties and functions of the chemicals of life in organisms;
b) list functions of carbs, proteins, lipids, vitamins;
c) appreciate nutritional balance.
The learners will be guided to:
i) search for information on chemical components;
ii) discuss with peers;
iii) create nutrient chart (Core competency: Learning to Learn; PCI: Life Skills).
How are chemicals important in cells? Internet, food samples Nutrient chart assessed using a learning to learn and life skills rubric
5 2 Cell Biology and Biodiversity 1.4 Chemicals of Life By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
a) investigate the presence of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and vitamin C in food substances;
b) perform Benedict's, Biuret, Sudan III tests;
c) appreciate experimental verification.
The learners will be guided to:
i) carry out experiments to test for chemicals;
ii) use locally available food;
iii) observe safety (Core competency: Critical thinking; PCI: Safety and Security).
How is the presence of chemicals of life determined? Food samples, reagents Lab report assessed using a critical thinking and safety rubric
5 3 Cell Biology and Biodiversity 1.4 Chemicals of Life By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
a) investigate the presence of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and vitamin C in food substances;
b) interpret test results;
c) appreciate dietary diversity.
The learners will be guided to:
i) analyze test results;
ii) compare local vs. processed foods;
iii) discuss nutrition (Core competency: Data analysis; PCI: Life Skills).
Which foods are rich in protein? Lab data, food labels Analysis report assessed using a data analysis and life skills rubric
5 4 Cell Biology and Biodiversity 1.4 Chemicals of Life By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
a) investigate the presence of enzymes in living tissues;
b) test for catalase in liver or potato;
c) appreciate enzyme activity.
The learners will be guided to:
i) carry out experiments on catalase;
ii) observe oxygen bubbles;
iii) discuss with peers (Core competency: Unity; PCI: Safety and Security).
Do living tissues contain enzymes? Liver/potato, H2O2 Experiment observation assessed using a unity and safety checklist
5 5 Cell Biology and Biodiversity 1.4 Chemicals of Life By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
a) determine factors affecting enzymatic reactions in cells;
b) test effect of temperature and pH;
c) appreciate optimal conditions.
The learners will be guided to:
i) carry out experiments on enzyme factors;
ii) record results;
iii) discuss with peers (Core competency: Critical thinking; PCI: Love).
How do temperature and pH affect enzymes? Enzymes, buffers, water baths Lab report assessed using a critical thinking and collaboration rubric
