Amplify Science 1.3 (Part 1)

Launch the Metabolism Modeling Tool on Amplify Science (Lesson 1.3 Activity #1)

Spend the next 3 minutes trying out different things in the modeling tool.

Try moving the molecules around the body to show your ideas about what happens inside the human body.

During the SIM exercise, we observed that in a healthy body, cells get certain molecules from food and air.

Today in class we will read "Molecules Cells Need" on Amplify Science.

While you are reading the article, make sure that you use some of the annotation skills we used last unit.

Think carefully about what you read. Pay attention to your own understanding.

As you read, annotate the text to make a record of your thinking. Highlight challenging words and add notes to record questions and make connections to your own experience.

Examine all visual representations carefully. Consider how they go together with the text.

After you read, discuss what you have read with others to help you better understand the text.
