NAME OF COOPERATING TEACHER:
SCHOOL: GBHS Bamendankwe CLASS: Lower sixth science DATE: 3th March 2020
SUBJECT: Biology DURATION: 50 minutes ENROLLMENT: 55 BOYS: 20 GIRLS: 35
MODULE: Organization and Maintenance of Life
FAMILY OF LIFE SITUATION: Supply of man’s needs in animal and plant resources.
EXAMPLE OF LIFE SITUATION: Insufficient knowledge on the organization, functioning and maintenance of water and macromolecules in living
organisms.
RATIONALE: Due to insufficient knowledge on biological importance of water and macromolecules at cellular level, people turn to consume these
biomolecules in an inappropriate proportion.. So, this lesson is to instill students’ knowledge on the biological importance of these biomolecules at cellular level.
COMPETENCE TO DEVELOP: To instill students the ability to know how biomolecules are form. Also students will be able to appreciate the role of these
biomolecules in growth and development.
RESOURCES TO DEVELOP:
Biomolecules: Introduction, Importance of water, structure of water, properties of water, classification of biomolecules
INTEGRATION ACTIVITY: Teacher and students observe and identify some common biomolecules
LESSON: BIOMOLECULES
 Introduction, Importance of water, structure of water, properties of water, classification of biomolecules
ASSUMED PREVIOUS KNOWLEGDE: Students could state the different stages of meiosis and their significance.
OBJECTIVES: By the end of this lesson, the student should be able to:
 Give a brief overview of biomolecules
 State the importance of water
 Illustrate the structure of water
 State and explain the properties of water.
 Classified biomolecules given examples
 To give the chemical composition, subunits and classification of carbohydrates.
DIDACTIC MATERIALS: ruler, potato, corn, chalk and chalkboard

Water is the most abundant smaller molecule

organism. Apart from water, all living organisms
are made up of simple organic molecules which
act as building blocks for large molecules. It
should be noted that simple organic molecules are
made from simpler inorganic molecules such as
CO2, nitrogen and water.
