Perform four qualitative chemical tests on supplied test standards and food samples that you supply in order to determine the presence of macronutrients, such as lipids, sugars, starches, and proteins. Prior to running the experiment students will make predictions on which macronutrients will appear. The activity features our exclusive WARD’S-developed lipid test strips, and includes enough materials for 15 setups, a teacher’s guide, and student copymaster.
