Journal Entry:

What happens when you put a substance with polar bonds in water? What about a substance with ionic bonds? What about a substance with non-polar bonds?

Learning Intentions

• You will learn how elements are put together to form functional groups.

• You will learn how functional groups are put together to form monomers.

• You will learn how monomers are joined together to form polymers and how polymers are broken down into monomers.

• You will learn how polymers form the macromolecules of life.

Closing Task:

You can create a flow chart from elements to polymers that explains how biological molecules are formed or broken down.
