A Day in the Life of Macromolecules Storyboard Project
A carbohydrate walks into a championship game. A lipid is trying to survive a food shortage. A protein has a job to do, and a nucleic acid is carrying the instructions. That is the idea behind this Macromolecules Storyboard Project: students turn carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids into characters, then use those characters to tell a biologically accurate story. Instead of another macromolecules chart, students create a storyboard booklet that shows how the molecules work toget
