First, your students make hexose monosaccharides (glucose, galactose and fructose), looking at their similarities and differences. Next, they make ribose as an example of a pentose.

Then they make disaccharides (maltose, sucrose and lactose) by forming glycosidic bonds between their monosaccharides. Finally, they look at how different polysaccharides are structured.

Covers: monomers, polymers, hexoses, pentoses, alpha glucose, beta glucose, galactose, fructose, ribose, glycosidic bonds, maltose, sucrose, lactose, starch (amylose and amylopectin) and glycogen.

Includes colourful class Powerpoint!

Takes just 30 minutes!

Dimensions: one hexose: 15cm / 6in

Download includes: instructions, colour & mono model templates, and Powerpoint file.
