Lab: Happy Meal -- McMush!McMush VideoMacromolecules Virtual LabFirst, show students a McDonalds Happy Meal Next, chop and blend the entire meal (drink included)Finally, have students follow the protocol for macromolecule identification.

Matching Macromolecule ActivityAccesses the students prior knowledge or used as a test review.Make cards with the 4 types of macromolecules written on them for each group.Create categories that you want the student to master such as structure, function, element ratio, food examples, etc. on another set of cards.Have students work in groups to arrange a chart-like design on a table(variations: use large wall posted paper and posted notes, white boards and colored markers).

Matching Macromolecule Activity continuedHave a bag or bin with descriptor cards of each macromolecule in each category( structure, function, example, element ratio for example)Have student group members randomly select a card and try to match the information on the card with the correct macromolecule and under the correct category.Example Carbohydrate- monomer monosaccharide- sugar- glucose-CHO- 1:2:1
