In the Classroom
Choose Fuels to identify similarities and differences between the various types of hydrocarbons. Such lists can bring to life the molecular formulas of the compounds and the resulting chemical and physical properties. Discuss the energy required to break down these molecules through the process of combustion. View the food molecules to identify why the calorie amount for each is different. Create a discussion of how different biomolecules are used in the body. Have cooperative learning groups research a compound or property and create an online poster using a tool such as Web Poster Wizard (reviewed here) or PicLits (reviewed here).You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
