    Worksheet
    In this carbohydrate worksheet, students will learn about the different types of carbohydrates (monosaccharide, disaccharide, and polysaccharide) and their designation as monomer, dimer, and polymer. The functions and chemical structures of the different carbohydrates are modeled, including dehydration synthesis.

    Lab
    Students will learn act out polymerization by performing carbohydrate dehydration synthesis and carbohydrate hydrolysis using chemistry models. Students will also model breaking of one biomolecule to make a different biomolecule. Students will be able to model how polymers are made and how polymers are broken. Students will also be able to describe how the atoms in one macromolecule can be use use to make a different macromolecule.

    Lab
    In this macromolecule lab, students learn about the three food-based biomolecules by testing for triglycerides, glucose, starch, and proteins. Students will use indicator solutions like test strips, paper bag stain test, iodine, and Biuret solution. Students experiment on the following mystery substances: vegetable oil, glucose, corn starch, powdered egg whites, and water.

    Lab
    The goal of this carbohydrate lab is for students to test for the presence of carbohydrate monomers and carbohydrate polymers in food. Students experiment with different unknown substances (baby food, cereal, milk, etc) and test if they are composed of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

    Lecture
    This PowerPoint is an introduction to making polymers from monomers (dehydration synthesis) and breaking of polymers into monomers (hydrolysis). The notes also focus on converting one macromolecule into different macromolecule.
