Enhance students' understanding of biomolecules and their functions through an interactive matching game.Materials neededFact cards with descriptions of different biomolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids)Fact cards with functions and examples of each biomolecule type. ActivityPrepare two sets of cards before the class—one set with the names of the biomolecules and another with their functions and examples. Shuffle and distribute them randomly among the students.Matching game: Students move around the classroom to find the matching function or example for their biomolecule card. Once a match is made, students pair up.Group presentation: Each pair presents their biomolecule and function to the class, explaining how it contributes to cellular processes and life functions.Discussion (5 minutes): Discuss the importance of each biomolecule in biological systems and how they interact to maintain life. Encourage students to ask questions or share interesting facts they learned.Students will actively engage with the material, reinforcing their knowledge of biomolecules through peer teaching and discussion. This activity fosters collaboration and deeper learning of how biomolecules function within living organisms.
