Product Description

Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to teach your students about the structures of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids?

This is the resource you need! Inclusive of ideas for a starter and plenary, posters, worksheet and cards and suggested card games. The informative visual posters can be displayed in the classroom as a visual cue for students. The accompanying worksheet is designed to familiarise students with the structural formulas of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. It also includes a set of cards designed to bring gamification to your classroom, allowing students to familiarise themselves with structural concepts through a range of engaging games.

These cards can be used for a variety of card-related games, including snap, memory and pens! (Pens is the classic game ‘spoons’ but using pens instead as they are more accessible in a classroom). Ensure that your students are able to put their best foot forward when determining the structures of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

Don’t reinvent the wheel! Save yourself time and use this resource to ensure your students have a comprehensive knowledge of the structure of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
