 * Module 15 – Macro & Micro nutrients ( Lens : ) **

Standards: · The student will demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions and the classifications, structures, and properties of chemical compounds. The student will demonstrate an understanding of the nature, conservation, and transformation of energy. Indicators: CAd.11 Illustrate the uses of electrochemistry as they apply to solutions. CAd.12 Describe the chemical composition of lipids (fats and oils), carbohydrates and proteins. CAf.4 Represent common acids and bases by their names and formulas. CAf.7 Explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to the transformation of various forms of energy

Energy   Nutrition  Transformation 
 * Concepts:**

Organization of bonds determine function. Structure and transformations determine classification. Composition determines nutrititional content. Transformation requires energy. · The student will demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions and the classifications, structures, and properties of chemical compounds. CAd.12 Describe the chemical composition of lipids (fats and oils), carbohydrates and proteins.
 * Essential Understandings:**
 * M15 Lesson 1 Protein**
 * CAd: Structure and Properties of Matter **

What about their structure enables protein molecules to play their role? List the major functions of proteins in the body. Proteins is a macronutrient that is described as a building block. Can it also be used as a source of energy? Function and structure of proteins in the body, basic structure of proteins, enzymes, hormones. Energy. Students can study enzymes to determine the amount of catalase in a substance (potato, apple, or liver). Two samples are used one fresh the other boiled. Add 5mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide and count bubbles Formed per minute. Could also do amylase but, usually done in biology. Plus should be some discussion of protein structure and function prior to this lab activity. · The student will demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions and the classifications, structures, and properties of chemical compounds. CAd.12 Describe the chemical composition of lipids (fats and oils), carbohydrates and proteins. The student will demonstrate an understanding of the nature, conservation, and transformation of energy.

Deduce whether vitamin is water or fat soluble from the vitamin structure. Are all fruits and vegetables created equal in micronutrient values? Nutrition, minerals, vitamins, polarity, RDA. Ratio/proportion Determine vitamin C in different fruit juice using iodine and starch. This is not a proper titration but, in this course is a relative proportion by drops. For example 15drops of iodine in fruit juice X compared with 10 drops in fruit juice Y. So Fruit juice X has more than fruit juice Y.

· The student will demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions and the classifications, structures, and properties of chemical compounds. CAd.11 Illustrate the uses of electrochemistry as they apply to solutions. Describe why vitamins and minerals are essential to healthy diet. Can you overdose on vitamins, how can something good for you also be bad for you? Tolerance, lethal dose, nutrition, minerals, vitamins, recommended daily value. To much of a good thing. Research and discussion of what are the recommended daily values and what do they mean. When might you need more due to activity level? Are daily vitamins necessary? There are some problems with an over dose of some of these nutrients, what are these problems.

 * CAd: Structure and Properties of Matter **

In addition to the food pyramid what are other essential nutrients to a balanced diet? If you take a multivitamin do you still need to be concerned with dietary nutrition? Food pyramid, healthy diet, supplements, recommended daily allowance. Students should keep a food diary for a week (or at least several days). They need to evaluate it for Macronutrient of carbohydrates, fats, proteins. Also, should look at micronutrients. Possible that this Is out as a website already.

 * Laboratories/Activities **

Discuss nutrient deficiency in different countries and suggest solutions. Describe 2 different types of dietary related diseases and measures to prevent these diseases. Disease due to dietary deficiencies. Food distribution, rickets, scurvy. Students should do outside class research on dietary disease before class. Could give a few that are Current issues in world. Have students discuss problems and how to possibly solve them. Also, with students all over the world they may be living in a remote place where they have first Hand knowledge of this issue. Students need a laboratory notebook to record the lab procedures, data, processing of data, graphics, conclusions, evaluation of all activities and laboratories. This may be virtual or paper pencil but, needs to have structure, function and flexibility of a paper pencil laboratory notebook and must be something that students can keep in a separate file from the course. This should become a reference resource for procedures and past learning. Possible outputs with ethic issues surrounding this unit can be used for many formats of output and depth. Student/Teacher should come up with appropriate output of project regarding use of nuclear as energy. Possible projects online debate using webcams or instant messaging, commercials with graphics, video and music, could be paper pencil, or computer generated media. This will depend on the media, available resources to student locally, student ability, and teacher/student decision process. Student should be assessed on quality of product, depth and analysis of subject matter. Lessons 1 through 5 used for this or tied into one continuing project to include all lesson objectives. **
