Whenever I encounter the word Lipid, the first thing that comes to my mind is that lipids are the fats. Which is quite correct..right?
So Lipids are divided into two groups: Simple Lipids and Complex Lipids.
Simple Lipids have no fatty acids and because of that, simple lipids are also non-saponifiable. Terpenes, Steroids and Prostaglandins are simple lipids.
Unlike simple ones, Complex Lipids contain fatty acids, making it saponifiable.There are four groups of complex lipids: waxes, acylglycerols, phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids ( I hope I spelled them all correctly).
Using a concept map will help in discussing this topic.

Proteins! :)
Proteins...proteins...proteins.... what are proteins?
I'm sorry but I cannot give you the exact definition of proteins. haha. But...I know some information about proteins.. I learned them from our Biology Classes.
Proteins are the most abundant organic molecules in cells. There are four types of proteins..enzymes, hormones, antibodies and amino acid.
Enzymes are catalysts. What are catalysts? I don't know. Well anyway, enzymes speed up chemical reactions.Hormones are chemical messengers that transports messages in the body.Antibodies responses to the presence of antigen or foreign bodies.While Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
I guess that's all that I can remember about proteins right now.
Oh, I almost forgot...suggestions! hmmmm.. discuss it with a presentation i think...

~Meiosis...hmmmm...i'm a little confused at this topic...but I'll try my best to recall something about it.
Well, unlike Mitosis, Meiosis is not a cycle. It is a one-way process.There are two parts, Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2. Meiosis 1 starts with Prophase 1 since Interphase comes before Meiosis. There are five stages in Prophase 1. These are Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.After Prophase 1 comes Metaphase , Anaphase 1 and Telophase 1. After that, there will be a resting period which is Interphase 2.Then, Meiosis 2 will start. I think Meiosis two is similar to Mitosis...hmm..but I'm not sure.
I cannot think of any teaching suggestions in teaching Meiosis. How can I? I cannot fully understand this topic. :( ~

The Cell ^_^
Two years ago, when I was still a sophomore student, I encountered the same lesson in our Basic Biology class so I already have the ideas for this topic.
The Cell...the basic unit of life.
A Cell has three basic parts. The Cell Membrane, The Nucleus and The Cytoplasm.
So the Cell Membrane serves as the barrier of the cell. It also gives shape to the cell. It’s found in the outer part of the cell as you can see in the illustration above.^^^
Next one, the Nucleus. It is the "control center" of the cell. It’s that pinkish "circle" in the illustration. As you can see, there is a smaller "circle" inside the nucleus. That is the Nucleolus where RNA is being synthesized.
Lastly, the Cytoplasm. It is where the organelles or little cells are. The are lots of organelles like the ribosome, mitochotria, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, centrosomes, centrioles , endoplasmic reticulum and other more which I cannot remember at the moment.
Well, in teaching this particular lesson, it's better if you'll present it with illustrations or even simple drawings, like what our teacher did. :))

♥ An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology ♥
Since we are having Biology classes, we cannot avoid this lesson. Biology is somewhat related to Anatomy and Physiology, right?
So, Anatomy..as far as I can remember is the study of structures. Am I right? Well there are two divisions of Anatomy: Microscopic Anatomy and Macroscopic or what we call Gross Anatomy. Obviously, in Microscopic Anatomy, you'll need a microscope to see and study microscopic structures. While in Macroscopic or Gross Anatomy, you'll just need your naked eye to observe and examine.
Physiology, on the other hand concentrates more on the functions of structures. So in that aspect, maybe it is more difficult and complicated than Anatomy.
Teaching suggestions?..hmmm....well it's just a basic topic, it's easy and like what is on the title, it's just an introduction so it won't be that hard to explain it. ^_^
