When an activity employs our scripting language, Pedagogica, as do some of the "guided" activities, the initial download may take several minutes. Subsequent activities will not take a long time. See this page for further instructions.

	Overview and Learning Objectives This activity introduces two of the macromolecules, lipids and carbohydrates. An associated activity covers proteins and DNA. Students explore how attributes of lipids -- polarity and consequent solubility -- contribute to the construction of membranes, and how the forms of glycogen and starch relate to their different uses. return to top
