Q5P2: Organic Molecules Foldable

This assignment is in Google Classroom (Q5P2 Organic Molecules Foldable).

Making the Foldable:

With a piece of printer/computer paper in landscape position, fold the two sides inward so that they meet in the middle. (You can ensure the sides are equal by first folding the paper in half 3 times. Open all the folds and then fold the two front folds toward the middle.)
Open the two folds and cut each one in half to make 4 front panels. Do not cut through to the back side. (There are pictures below of some ways you can do this)

Decorating the Front Side:

Each panel should be labeled with one of the four organic groups. (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids)
Decorate each panel with at least 1 picture that represents each organic group.
The final product should be in color!

Inside Information:

Include the following information inside each panel.

List the elements in each group: C, H, O, N, P, S
List the functions of each group.
List at least 2 examples of other foods (not drawn on the front) or body structures belonging to each group. (“Can be found in…”)

You may want to refer to this slide deck to find the needed information.
