Ch4 Hydrocarbon Model.docx - Berkner HS AP Biology



Hydrocarbon ModelCh4 Carbon and the Molecular Diversity of LifeRough Draft due Tuesday 9/2: drop off in my room B206 prior to 9:00 to avoid damage.Final version due Thursday 9/4Purpose: To organize your knowledge of the introduction to Organic Chemistry.Do not become overzealous with the artistic portion of this model. That being said, realize that these models will be on display for the entire year with your name on it.Read Chapter plete Ch4 Reading Guide.Select the most important structural aspects to biological lifeRepresent all information on a 3D ball and stick model Illustrate the difference in three of the most important functional groups answers will vary - give validation for your selectionsemail me with any and all questionsRough Draft due Tuesday 9/2: All information gathered in a presentable form for me to approve or give suggestion.Final Project due Thursday 9/4: Final beautiful model ready for hanging in the room for all posterity. Keep in mind that your projects will be on display for Open House and your name will be very visible. All suggestions and corrections from the rough draft should be addressed.This project may be created individually or in groups. Group projects must delineate the efforts of each member of the group.Include all information pertinent to your learning on the model by writing on something and attaching it to the model or on paper then create a shape then writing on it.How to Make a Paper Sphere Follow method 1 or 3. Method 2 will not work for our purposesPaper Sphere for the over-acheiver Try to not let the lines show. Include text boxes over the top of the grid prior to printing. Other shapes are also listed on this site.Address all expectations listed in the table below. Page numbers are listed for your reference. Outside research is not necessary but may be helpful.ExpectationsPossible GradeWhere this is addressedRough Draft SuggestionsFinal Draft GradeCompound:Compound Name. Did you select a biologically important molecule? Did you fully justify your selection?10Compound Use: Brief explanation of biological use of this compound.5Shape: Molecular Formula Listed2Ball and Stick Model: Did you select the correct for the compound selected. Relative shape and size of each atom in the molecule should be as correct as possible. p6010Skeletal Variations: What variations in the carbon skeleton are represented in your model. How does this structure affect the function of the molecule.4Bond Type: List the number of single, double, and triple bond, and rings p38, p612Isomers: Is it possible for your molecule to exist as Isomers? If so which isomere is your compound? What are the differences in the structure and function of the isomeres? p62-634Functional Groups:What functional groups are present in your molecule? Illustrate name and structure of each. p64-6510What are the functional properties of each of the functional groups in your compound? p64-6510ExpectationsPossible GradeWhere this is addressedRough Draft SuggestionsFinal Draft GradeBackground Knowledge: Include a full description of the question and answer of each of the following on a separate piece of paper or on the model.Is your compound covalent or ionic. p38-402Where are the Hydrogen Bonds and how are they affecting the shape, functionality, and versatility of your compound. p405What portions of your compound are polar, polar covalent? p462What portions of your compound are Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic p512Does your compound act as an acid, base, or neutral? How do you know? What groups are responsible for this characteristic? p532ExtrapolationsBased on the Background knowledge and the structure of your molecule, Can you predict its function of the molecule and explain why the structural aspects of the molecule make its function possible?10What connections do you notice while studying Organic molecules and the Big Ideas as well as the Themes in Study of Life p1-2710What connections do you notice while studying organic molecules and Evolution 10Grade100 possible- ................
