Students will use the ChemDoodle3D software (listed under External Resources) during this course, which can be downloaded and used for $18/month during the duration of the course (total cost $36 for 2 months of use). Molecules Made: Cytosine and a simplified model structure of DNA Session 08: Nucleic Acids, DNA and RNA continued Topics Covered: Continue exploring nucleic acids, nucleotides and the structure of a nucleotide Molecules Made: Guanine and Thymine turn them into Nucleotides
Session 07: Nucleic Acids, DNA and RNA continued Topics Covered: What are nucleic acids, what is a nucleotide and the structure of a nucleotide Molecules Made: Deoxyribose, phosphate group and nitrogenous base Adenine Topics Covered: Idea of biomolecules, what are carbs, polysaccharides, lipids and how soap works with a fatty acid, concepts of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules Molecules Made: Glucose, Amylose (linear glucose chain in starch), Fructose, Sucrose and Stearic Acid Topics Covered: Amino acids as building blocks of protein, protein structures (ribbon and backbone) and bringing in protein structures using the database in Chem Doodle Molecules Made: Amino acid template, Methionine (needed for break down of fat to release energy), Lysine (calcium absorption) Topics Covered: Aldehyde and Acid functional groups in organic chemistry Molecules Made: Formaldehyde, Citric Acid, Aspirin Topics covered: Electron orbitals, make orbitals using Chem Doodle widget, learn about VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) used to predict molecule shapes Molecules Made: Carbon dioxide, Methane, Carbonate ion, Chlorine Trifluoride, Sulfur Hexafluoride Session 2: Atom Orbitals and Molecule Shapes Topics covered: The structure of atoms - protons, neutrons and electrons, types of Covalent Bonds, learn about chains of carbon atoms called alkanes, alkynes and alkenes Molecules Made: Water, Alkanes (methane, ethane), Ethanethiol, Alkenes and Alkynes
