Re-create the structure of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins and help your students visualize how these molecules function together. Students will begin by constructing simple sub-unit molecules, then join them to create disaccharides, polysaccharides, polypeptides, and lipids. In the process, students will learn about the structural characteristics and the chemical processes that occur as they form more complex molecules. It comes with enough materials for ten setups, a teacher’s guide, and student copymaster.
Materials Included 10 Molecular model packets, each containing: •12 Black carbon atoms, •48 White hydrogen atoms, •12 Red oxygen atoms, •2 Blue nitrogen atoms, •48 Bonding tubes (for electron single bonds) 2.5 cm, •6 Bonding tubes (for electron double bonds) 3.5 cm
Time Requirement •45 minutes
