Observing biomolecules in action

 Observe a cooking demonstration and note ALL the biomolecules in the ingredients.  Take photographs of the ingredient , the recipe and the outcome.  Did the biomolecules undergo any changes due to changes in  thermal energy? pH?  What was their state ? solid or liquid ?  Did anything turn into a gas?

Demonstrate your biochemical knowledge by explaining what happened to the biomolecules.  Your report may be in the form of a document, pdf, powerpoint (powerpoint is preferred)

Your report includes

a Title:  What was the food that was prepared?

1. A table with the following titles:  ingredient, biomolecule, draw the formula

2.  Steps to make the food:  Describe changes in thermal energy and pH if any

3.  Conclusion:  write a short paragraph summarizing what you learned/tasted
