Today we started off by watching THIS video about the dangers of making a panda angry. We then refreshed our memories about what a starch is (long polysaccharides, or long chain of sugar molecules) and then went into the lab to test for starches using iodine. There were about 13 materials for you test and look for a chemical change in the color of the added iodine. The lab was due today. If you didn't finish it, or need to do it, see me after class.
We then came back into the class room and took a few notes about Proteins, the all-stars of BioMolecules. Proteins do a lot of different tasks and there's a nearly endless number of them in all sorts of different configurations, sizes and shapes.
Friday, with our shorter periods, we'll be looking to wrap up our notes with Proteins and looking at Nucleic acids. Then, it's on to cells.
Maybe we'll test first though.
