Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content:

   • The teacher will start the lesson by reviewing the basic concepts of organic chemistry that are essential for understanding carbohydrates and lipids. This will include a review of atoms, chemical bonds, and simple molecular structures.

2. Problem Situations:

   • The teacher will present two problem situations to spark students' interest:
     1. "Why do we need carbohydrates for energy, and why are lipids important for hormone formation?"
     2. "How can the lack or excess of carbohydrates and lipids in the diet affect our health?"

3. Contextualization:

   • The teacher will emphasize the importance of carbohydrates and lipids in the daily diet, explaining that they are the main sources of energy for the human body. In addition, lipids play a crucial role in the formation of cell membranes and hormone production. This contextualization will help students understand the relevance of the topic to everyday life.

4. Attention Gain:

   • The teacher will share two curiosities to capture students' attention:
     1. "Did you know that carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the brain? Without adequate carbohydrate intake, the brain may not function properly."
     2. "And about lipids, they are responsible for transporting fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K through the body. Therefore, if you do not consume lipids, your body cannot effectively use these vitamins."

By the end of the Introduction, students should be engaged and curious to learn more about the topic, understanding the importance of carbohydrates and lipids for human health.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory: Carbohydrates (10 - 12 minutes)

   1.1. Definition and Classification:

   • The teacher will present the definition of carbohydrates, describing them as organic compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and as one of the main sources of energy for the human body.
   • Next, the teacher will explain the classification of carbohydrates into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, using examples of each to facilitate students' understanding.

   1.2. Structure and Function:

   • The teacher will describe the chemical structure of monosaccharides, emphasizing that they are the building blocks of carbohydrates.
   • Next, the teacher will explain how carbohydrates are digested in the body, breaking down into monosaccharides to be absorbed by the organism.
   • The teacher will also discuss the main functions of carbohydrates in the body, including providing energy, forming cellular structures, and participating in metabolic processes.

   1.3. Importance in the Diet:

   • The teacher will explain the importance of carbohydrates in the diet, highlighting that they are the main source of energy for the human body.
   • The teacher will also discuss the difference between simple carbohydrates (such as sugars) and complex carbohydrates (such as starches and fibers), and how they should be consumed in balance to maintain a healthy diet.

2. Theory: Lipids (10 - 12 minutes)

   2.1. Definition and Classification:

   • The teacher will present the definition of lipids, describing them as organic compounds insoluble in water, and essential for life and human health.
   • Next, the teacher will explain the classification of lipids into triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids, using examples of each to facilitate students' understanding.

   2.2. Structure and Function:

   • The teacher will describe the chemical structure of triglycerides, emphasizing that they are the main form of energy storage in animals.
   • Next, the teacher will discuss the main functions of lipids in the body, including providing energy, forming cell membranes, and producing hormones.

   2.3. Importance in the Diet:

   • The teacher will explain the importance of lipids in the diet, highlighting that they are a concentrated source of energy and play an essential role in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
   • The teacher will also discuss the difference between saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats, and how they should be consumed in balance to maintain a healthy diet.

By the end of the Development, students should be able to distinguish between carbohydrates and lipids, understand their structures and functions in the body, and comprehend the importance of a balanced diet that includes both nutrients.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Learned Concepts (5 - 7 minutes):

   • The teacher will review the main concepts covered in the lesson, asking students to explain, in their own words, what carbohydrates and lipids are, their chemical structures, functions in the body, and importance in the diet.
   • The teacher may also request that students make connections between the concepts, for example, explaining how the chemical structure of carbohydrates determines their functions in the body.

2. Connection to Practice and Applications (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher will ask students to reflect on the lesson and identify ways in which the learned concepts apply to everyday life.
   • For example, students may discuss how a lack of carbohydrates in the diet can lead to fatigue, or how excessive consumption of saturated fats can increase the risk of heart diseases.

3. Reflection on Learning (3 - 5 minutes):

   • The teacher will propose that students reflect individually on the following questions and then share their answers with the class:
     1. "What was the most important concept you learned today?"
     2. "What questions have not been answered for you yet?"
   • After the group discussion, the teacher may provide additional clarifications or study guidance to address any gaps in students' understanding.

4. Feedback and Evaluation (1 minute):

   • The teacher will gather feedback from students about the lesson, asking what they found most useful and what could be improved.
   • The teacher may also assess students' understanding through a brief formative assessment, for example, asking students to write a paragraph explaining the difference between carbohydrates and lipids.

By the end of the Return, students should have consolidated their knowledge of carbohydrates and lipids, be able to make connections to practice, and reflect on their learning. Additionally, the teacher will have collected valuable feedback to improve future lessons.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Summary of Contents (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher will summarize the main points covered during the lesson, recalling the definition, structure, function, and importance of carbohydrates and lipids in the human diet.
   • The teacher will emphasize the difference between these two types of nutrients, highlighting that while both provide energy, carbohydrates are the main quick energy source, while lipids are the main long-term energy source.
   • The teacher will also recall the relevance of lipids in the formation of cell membranes and hormone production, and of carbohydrates as the brain's energy source.

2. Connection between Theory, Practice, and Applications (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher will explain how the lesson connected theory (the structure and function of carbohydrates and lipids) with practice (the analysis of examples of carbohydrates and lipids) and applications (the importance of these nutrients in the human diet).
   • The teacher will reinforce the applicability of these concepts to students' everyday lives, reminding them that understanding dietary nutrients can help make healthier and sustainable food choices.

3. Extra Materials (1 minute):
