Modeling Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates Kit

Color-coded, plastic model allows your class to simulate the structure of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Students will construct three-dimensional subunits of amino acids, fatty acids and monosaccharides. They'll then link the amino acids to form protein molecules and illustrate their primary, secondary and tertiary structure.

Similarly, they'll link fatty acids to represent fats and monosaccharides to model carbohydrates. Includes comprehensive teacher and student guides which overview the structure and function of each of these molecules and their importance in sustaining life. Completely reusable, providing for years of study!

Your students will:

• Construct three-dimensional models of amino acids, fatty acids and monosaccharides
• Link amino acids subunits to model proteins
• Demonstrate the primary, secondary and tertiary structures of proteins
• Link fatty acid subunits to model fats
• Model carbohydrates by linking monosaccharide subunits

Includes enough materials for a class size of 40 students.

Recommended for students in grades 7 through 10.
