Amines & Amides
Learning Goals
I can use proper IUPAC naming to name, write formulas and draw structures of amines and amides
I can differentiate amines and amides from other functional groups by their names and structural formulas
I can describe some physical properties of amines and amides
I can explain the types of chemical reactions that amines and amides undergo and what products are formed as a result.

LESSON OVERVIEW (SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS: B2.2, B2.4, B3.1, B3.2, B3.3)
Hook:
Activity: Find the Similarities
Have students recall their biology knowledge on simple amino acids such as glycine and alanine. Display structures of these amino acids as well as some other compounds such as morphine, epinephrine, and quinine (malaria treatment) and have students identify the new functional group that is common in all.
Debrief: Briefly introduce the new functional group and talk about the use of amines in synthetic medications. Can also mention that amines found in plants are called alkaloids. For example, opium alkaloids found in the juice of the opium poppy. It is used as a painkiller but can also be addictive and is fatal in high doses.

Teaching Strategy:
Use the attached PowerPoint lesson to introduce the amine and amide functional groups. This is a great visual presentation that will be great to target the visual learners in the classroom. The lesson also includes several learning checks along the way, which is a great way for teachers to gauge students' understanding of the content being taught. |
