Cholesterol Teacher Resources

Learners simulate the clogging of an artery with cholesterol by creating a paper towel roll model of an artery. They discuss the three types of cholesterol and their effects on the heart then they compare the fat and cholesterol content...

In this chemistry learning exercise, students calculate to find the molar mass of water. Then they identify how many moles of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms they would have in a beaker. Students also write the chemical formula of...

An informative video goes in depth about lipids, or fats. It describes the importance of cell membranes and hydrocarbon tails that contain the energy available for life. It also explains the construction of phospholipids and cholesterol. 

By completing "Meeting the Membrane," cell biologists are introduced to the structure of the lipid bilayer. The name molecular components of the cell membrane, explain selective permeability, and label a 3-D diagram of a section of the...

A fantastic presentation with great images should improve student understanding of lipids and their involvement in the body.  The chemistry of different fats, phospholipids, and steroids are explained. Additionally, the specific uses,...

Students discover what types of food contain cholesterol. They identify foods that contain less cholesterol, examine nutritional information about eggs and explore how to fit eggs into a healthy diet. They modify their diet to help...

Explore the structure of cell membranes including cholesterol, glycolipids, glycoproteins, phospholipids, and proteins. The video shows and discusses the fluid mosaic model as well as how cell walls differ from cell membranes. 

Students discuss how bacteria contributes to a variety of food products. They evaluate efforts to market food products supplemented with specific types of beneficial bacteria called probiotics. Students investigate the differences...

The inner life of a cell is laid out like a science fiction film. With dramatic music playing in the background, show your learners how the organelles interact and perform. This highly scientific clip is very detailed and is geared...

Eighth graders assess fat content of different food samples. In this biology lesson, 8th graders create a flowchart showing the transport of cholesterol in the bloodstream. They perform tests for the presence of lipids on food samples.

This Healthy Eating PowerPoint summarizes what the different parts of food are and some important examples and facts about each.
