Functional Group Work Day

-Due to Grade level assemblies some of you may miss class today.  We will be having a study hall day.

Agenda:
1.)  Check note cards
2.)  Intro to Online Videos (Molecules of Life Video)
3.)  Open Study Time

Tips for Online Video Notes:
- Define any new terms (Remember biology is like a foreign language class!)
- Identify key point in the video (Usually introduced in 1st 2 minutes)
-Write down important features about each key point

OH NO!!!
- Missing functional group from  flash card list!
Your absent minded teacher (who shall remain nameless...) forgot to add METHYL groups to you list.

- Here's the info you'll need:

Common name : (super easy) methyl...
Examples: fatty acids, oils, waxes
Characteristics: nonpolar, hydrophobic
