Reviewer Comments:
This is a great collection of resources appropriate for high school biochemistry, addressing and assessing many key concepts. The unit is technically complete, but included answer keys may make it even more useful to the Curriki community. The content is accurate, engaging and appropriate for the grade level provided. With an experienced classroom teacher, these resources would become immediately useful, however an educator that is new to or unfamiliar with the subject would benefit from additional pedagogical information including goals, objectives, time needed, and more explicit teacher directions.
