scienceteacherhsu's video: Molecules Gone Wild Bio Style - Macromolecules Song PPT ver

A song about Macromolecules (a.k.a. Biomolecules, Carbon-Based Molecules, or the molecules of life) and Nutrition (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids), based on PSY's "Gangnam Style." Lyrics written by, song performed ,and Powerpoint slide show done by a simple high school science teacher named Mr. Hsu. mp3 available: http://c3po.barnesos.net/~wakkonat/shhs/moleculesgonewild.mp3 This song and video have been made solely for educational purposes. Its level of depth and detail into various macromolecules (biomolecules) are aimed at High School Biology students (at least the ones I teach). If you find errors or omissions (i.e. I didn't discuss enzymes), this is due to the fact that I'm trying to make a song that appeals to students, AND I'm being constrained by describing a relatively complex topic through a highly repetitive song that was originally written in Korean. Of course, a big reason for making this video was how viral the song became... I also performed this song for my students in class before our macromolecule test. If you're lucky, you might find a video of such a live performance somehwere in the vast internet (quite a few of them were recording me singing and dancing it in class, after all). A full music video with teachers dancing was also made. I'm sure you've found it by now... Lyrics: Molecules Gone Wild! Bio Style! Carbohydrates provide the energy for your life! The simplest form, like glucose, is known as a monosaccharide Combine two, and make a larger sugar called disaccharide The largest is a polysaccharide! Lipids are the fats! 3 fatty acids with a glycerol make up the fats: Triglycerides with only single bonds are saturated fats, But if there're double bonds they now become unsaturated fats Don't eat too much fat! Monomers build to polymers filled With C, H, O! Hey! Molecule's macro! Hey! One with HO, other with H, so Bond and go! Hey! Release H2O! Hey! Dehydration Synthesis is underway!!! Molecules Gone Wild! Bio Style Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild! Bio Style Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild! Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers: Molecules Gone Wild! Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers! Proteins: the building blocks that make up your whole body Your skin, your hair, your muscles - need protein to get the hotties! Break down polypeptide to amino acids in your body Nitrogen comes to the party! Nucleic Acids! The famous one is DNA that's known by all you kids With 2 polynucleotide chains linked to make it valid, Which breaks into single nucleotides when it's digested; Phosphorous added! When you eat food, to get in the mood (to study), Molecules will flow! Hey! Straight down your throat! Hey! Need to break those big polymers, so Here's H2O! Hey! Splits to H and O! Hey! Hydrolysis is what I just now displayed!!! Molecules Gone Wild! Bio Style Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild! Bio Style Mol-Mol-Mol-Mol Molecules Gone Wild! Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers: Molecules Gone Wild! Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers! Food deforms Into its simplest forms! When you eat it, break it down, Then it reforms! Now you're informed! So please study more! Study, Study, Read your notes and textbook You know what I'm saying? Molecules Gone Wild! Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers: Molecules Gone Wild! Many Polymers-mers-mers-mers! Molecules Gone Wild!
