Activity: Molecules of life
We have viewed the molecules that are the building blocks of life in a very simplistic and two dimensional way.
This activity gives us the opportunity to visualize the structural complexity of even the "simple" molecules such as glucose.

YOUR TASK
Take a photo of each monomer and polymer as you build them. Make sure to include the molecule(s) of water that result from dehydration synthesis. Compile your photos into a one page document that visually shows how monomers combine to form polymers. View this SAMPLE document to see what an example of what you are expected to create. Print (in colour), email or link your file to me on Edmodo. |
