REDEFINITION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable.
transformation
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable.
AUGMENTATION
Technology acts as a direct tool for substitution with some functional improvement.
enhancement
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts as a direct tool for substitution with no real change.

2. Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules Vocabulary
Students will define key terms and create study note cards from this topic using the class Quizlet site.
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
Students will open Quizlet app on classroom iPads. Link is also on Mr. Reed’s Blackboard Site.
Students are to locate the vocabulary set “Chapter 5: Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules” under Biology 2.
Students are to create vocabulary notecards using the terms and definitions found on Quizlet.
When they are finished, students need to turn in notecards to be graded for a Vocabulary Check.
Learning Objective(s):
Identify key terms associated with the structure and function of large biological molecules.

Log onto Mr. Reed’s Blackboard website.
Under Biology 2, click the EdPuzzle—Biological Macromolecules link.
Log into your student EdPuzzle account.
Watch the “Crash Course” on the 4 classes of biological molecules. Take notes if necessary. Be careful to pay close attention to the following:
Monomers and polymers.
Structure of macromolecules.
Function of macromolecules.
When everyone has finished the video, we will take a Kahoot! quiz.  
Learning Objective(s):
Watch the EdPuzzle video covering structure and function of the 4 classes of large biological molecules.
Complete Kahoot! quiz when finished to assess the level of knowledge.

4. Large Biological Molecules Google Doc JigSaw
Students will be placed into groups and assigned a different class of Biological Macromolecule. They are to collect information and complete their section of the table on a Google document.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
Log onto Mr. Reed’s BlackBoard site.
Under “Biology 2,” click the link to access the “Large Biological Molecules” Google document.
Find your group’s number to see the class of molecules you are assigned to collect data on.
Using your textbook, iPads, etc., you must collect the following information on your assigned area:
Name and structure of monomers.
Function in cells.
Examples and their function/where they are found.
Once everyone is done, you must download the completed google document and submit it under the “Google Document Jigsaw” activity link on Blackboard.
Learning Objective(s):
Investigate an assigned class of large biological molecules.
Complete their assigned section of a Google document, and submit complete document for grading.
