Continuing with the lessons on atoms, molecules, and macromolecules;  the main concept that must be understood is that when one puts simple "things" together (atoms, molecules...) then one will get something completely new with a different structure, function, and role. To be able to get a more elaborate perspective of these new "things" it is important to be organized with our experiments/analysis because it will help us see patterns and thus comprehend these new "things". Structure is another very important rule taught in class; this is so because of the specific function brought about due to the structure of the atoms, molecules and/or macromolecules. I like to think of these las couple of lessons as a big puzzle piece. The more we connect and construct each piece together (atoms, molecules, macromolecules, proteins, carbohydrates, cellulose, etc...) the closer we get to see, analyze, and understand the bigger/final masterpiece!
