I created this lab because I wanted my students to relate macromolecules to real-life experiences (how they are tested for in day-to-day life, like the nursing field). A lot of macromolecules labs involve testing food items and looking for a positive tests, but this is not realistic. In real-life we test for glucose and protein in urine, not food. I have used the food labs before and students complete the tests, but that real-life connection was missing. The lab does involve some prep work ahead of time, but once you have the initial set-up complete, using the lab from year to year is a piece of cake. Teacher set-up instructions are included. The idea for this lab came from http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/waldron/organic (Who Took Jerell’s iPod) a free lab, but has been significantly modified. I used some of the original review questions, but that’s about it)
