We covered four major biochemical reactions in class: photosynthesis,
aerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
For any one of those chemical reactions, write a short story
that characterizes the reactants, conditions and products.
Get creative. Treat the different molecules as different characters - people, animals, etc.
or put yourself in the position of one of them and tell the story in first-person. Whatever.
For those of you who are feeling artistic, feel free to turn the story into a comic strip.
MAKE SURE YOUR STORIES ARE SCHOOL APPROPRIATE.
To get full credit they should me chemically accurate and
include all rreactants, products and some conditions of the reaction.
