Setting of Standards
ELICIT (5 minutes) MATERIALS
a. To elicit the previous knowledge of the learner, the
teacher will ask the student to think for a moment
about his/her favorite food.
b. The teacher will be showing a visually appealing
image or video of a variety of foods (e.g., fruits,
vegetables, meat, and grains).
c. The teacher will ask the students to brainstorm what
these foods have in common and what makes them
different. The teacher will lead a class discussion to
highlight the idea that all living organisms are made
up of certain common substances, known as
biomolecules, which are essential for life.
ENGAGE ( 4 minutes)
the students are task to answer the activity called
“BioWord Hunting”.
Pre-discussion for the activity:
Food is a source of molecules that are needed for life.
These are biological molecules. What you eat belongs
to biomolecules. There are four biological molecules
that make up all of life.
The teacher will give a word hunting activity to warm
up the students.
Instruction. Look for the words and write your
Answers: biomolecule, carbohydrate, lipid,fats,
protein, and nucleic acid.

EXPLORE (12 minutes)
The teacher will divide the students into 4 groups.
The teacher will have an activity entitled “Check the
Label”.
The teacher will provide the students food packages with
nutrition facts and labels and let the students investigate
the different amounts of nutrients (fat/lipids,
carbohydrates, and proteins) found in each. Have students
write observations in their activity sheets of the nutrition
information for their food item, paying particular attention
to fats, carbohydrates and protein content.
This allows students to make a personal
connection to the biomolecules.
EXPLAIN (20 minutes)
The teacher will explain Biological Macromolecules Internet sources:

Before starting the discussion, the teacher will let the h-school-biology/hs-
students read and familiarize the terms and biology-
definitions to help the students understand the foundations/hs-
following words that might be encountered in this biological-
lesson. macromolecules/a/hs
Terms and Definitions -biological-
Polymer – a large molecule made of repeating macromolecules-
subunits (monomers). For example, a carbohydrate is review
a polymer that is made of repeating
monosaccharides.
Monosaccharide – simplest form of carbohydrates
Monomer – a molecule that can react with other
molecule to form very large molecules or polymers
Hormones – special chemical messengers that are
created in the endocrine gland
Amino acids – organic compounds that combined to
form proteins
Enzymes – proteins which make the bio chemical
reaction fast
Nucleotide – made up of three components: nitrogen-
containing base, five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate
group.
Biological Macromolecules
Biological macromolecules are large, organic molecule such
as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Most
of them are organic compounds and the functional group
determines their chemical properties. Biomolecules have a
huge variety of functions, such as storing energy,
protection, etc. Now be ready with your journey to the
different biomolecules, their structures, and functions
found in your food.
1. Carbohydrates
The word carbohydrate may be broken
down to carbon and hydrate. Another term
for carbohydrate is saccharide.
Carbohydrates are classified either as
simple or complex. Simple sugars are
monosaccharide and disaccharides.
Complex sugars are polysaccharides.
2. Lipids or Fats
Lipids or fats are important nutrients in
your body but eating too many especially
unhealthy fats such as saturated fats
and trans fats can lead to heart disease,
cancer, and obesity.
3. Proteins
Proteins are composed of four elements,
namely: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and
nitrogen.
4. Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids play an essential role in the
storage, transfer, and expression of genetic
information.
The most common examples of nucleic
acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
and RNA(ribonucleic acid). DNA is a
nucleic acid that carries the genetic code of
organisms. It is fondly termed as the
blueprint of life. RNA, on another hand,
carries the information from the DNA to
the cellular factories for the synthesis of
proteins.
ELABORATE (5 minutes)
In this activity, the teacher will divide the class into pairs.
The teacher will give an activity named as
“Macromolecule Plates”.
Guide Questions:
1. Write inside the first plate an example of
food rich in carbohydrates that you have eaten a
while ago and tell us what you feel after eating it.
2. Write inside the second plate an example
of food rich in lipids that you have eaten a while ago.
3. Write inside the third plate an example of
food rich in protein that you have eaten a while ago
and tell us what you feel about what you have eaten.
EXTEND (5 minutes)
The teacher will review the learner’s knowledge by
answering the activity called “Maze Runner”.
The teacher will let the student’s help Bimol to go
back home by answering the question about
biological molecules.

ASSIGNMENT (optional)
Complete the table by filling out the required information.
Identify the disorder/disease, related macromolecule and
its function based on the given scenario.
1. Korina, a grade 12 student experienced excessive
sweating, frequent urination, feeling very thirsty and
hungry. She was not able to attend her class during that
day. She was rushed in the hospital and upon examining
her blood sugar it was found out that it is above its normal
value.
2. One of the students of Mr. Cordova shared her story
when she was hospitalized at the age of three. She showed
her picture with enlarged tummy, loss of muscle mass and
inflamed patches on her skin. She even mentioned that she
was also irritable and had failure to grow in height
according to her mother.
3. While presenting the lesson on Circulation and Gas
Exchange, the teacher of Mabini National High School
