all other skills that they will need in the 21st century workplace and must develop new
teaching strategies that are radically different from those employed in the traditional

Essay 2
Directions: Choose a topic from one of your major courses and create a semi-
detailed lesson plan incorporating the different 21st century skills

Semi-detailed lesson plan

I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

1. Understand the structure of triglycerides.

2. Explain how fats function as energy-storage molecules.
3. Apply knowledge of the structure of phospholipids to the Formation of membranes.

II. Subject Matter

Subject: Lipids: Hydrophobic & Hydrophilic Molecules
Reference: www.ravenbiology.com
Materials: Activity sheets, LCD monitor, projector, laptop, and speaker.

III. Procedure

Motivation

Showing PowerPoint presentation about the lipid structure and natural value.
Students must listen and observe the presentation and feel free to ask question.
.

Presentation

Today we are going to find out the relation of triglycerides structure and normal
values.

Activity

You’re going to perform jumping jack before that perform a basic warm up
And we’re going to release that triglycerides stored in your fat cells.

Discussion
Knowing that if you regularly eat more calories than you burn, particularly
from high-carbohydrate foods, you may have high triglycerides
-Student truly understand the natural value
Fats are used as storage molecules because they give more adenosine
Triphosphate (ATP) per molecule;
Knowing that phospholipid is a lipid that contains a phosphate group and
is a major component of cell membranes. A phospholipid consists of a
hydrophilic (water-loving) head and hydrophobic (water-fearing).

Generalization
 Students most understand a basic concept of lipids and there structure also
most presentable at a time of activity.

Evaluation

Get 1/2 sheet of paper

Directions: listen and understand the questions carefully and write the correct answer
on your paper and not on your seatmate’s paper. Understood?
1. What is a lipid in your own understanding?
2. What is the important of triglycerides in your fat cells?
3. Relate the presentation to your self during the activity.
