Key words carbohydrate ~ glycosidic bond ~ condensation ~ hydrolysis ~ glycerol ~ triglyceride ~ lipid ~ fatty acid ~ ester bond ~ sugar ~ phospholipid ~ monosaccharide ~ disaccharide ~ Benedict’s test ~ saturated ~ unsaturated ~ hydrophilic ~ hydrophobic

Sorting activity designed to familiarise students with biological molecules. Students sort molecules into groups of similar structures and try to identify them as fatty acids, glycerol, sugars, amino acids etc. 1 page with answers. I have used it both to introduce biological molecules and to round things off once the students have met them all.

The answer sheet gives suggested extensions for those who finish first / want them. It would work well as a VLE homework activity or as revision.

Fully hyperlinked 30-slide powerpoint and two worksheets. Used with A-level students. Written in frustration at the lack of material available to stretch bright students on this subject; classification and phylogeny. The concepts can be difficult for students from 14-16 yrs but they do engage with them. Designed to generate discussion about some of the more contentious issues involved in classification. Two double-sided worksheets with answer sheets.

A 20 mark test on circulation for more able students. Straightforward and easy to mark. First image is from from ‘Biodidac’ - so it must remain a free resource. Answer sheet provided.
