Chemistry of Carbohydrates Models

Scientific Concepts and Processes

• Construct models of three monosaccharide
• Construct models of two disaccharides
• Study isomerism
• Construct a simple starch molecule by dehydration synthesis

• Construct models of three monosaccharides
• Construct models of two disaccharides
• Study isomerism
• Construct a simple starch molecule by dehydration synthesis

As students learn to distinguish between the models they will also be learning the actual chemical formulas of molecules.
