Macromolecules Inquiry: Transformation of a Standard Biochemistry Lab
Unsworth, Elizabeth
American Biology Teacher, v76 n7 p438-441 Sep 2014
Identification of macromolecules in food is a standard introductory high school biology lab. The intent of this article is to describe the conversion of this standard cookbook lab into an inquiry investigation. Instead of verifying the macromolecules found in food, students use their knowledge of the macromolecules in food to determine the characteristics of specific biological indicators.
