Cholesterol Teacher Resources

Students 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 health worksheet, learners find the words that are related to cholesterol and treatments for it. The answers are found at the bottom of the page.

In this cholesterol and carbohydrates instructional activity, students answer multiple choice questions on cholesterol and carbohydrates. Students complete 4 questions.

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...

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...

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 instructional activity, 8th graders create a flowchart showing the transport of cholesterol in the bloodstream. They perform tests for the presence of lipids on...

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,...

Not only will biochemists answer 15 questions about lipid molecules, they will also review what they know about carbohydrate molecules. This is a straightforward assignment that lists the questions and allows space for writing answers....

This biochemistry practice exam queries takers on the organic molecules. Pupils write IUPAC names, identify boiling and melting points of different compounds, and more. This is definitely designed for a college-level biochemistry course,...

Read about the circulatory system through research or a biology textbook, and then provide answers to twenty-five questions. Biology learners who are studying human body systems will benefit from reviewing with these questions. Pair this...

Biochemistry scholars will be well prepared for an exam on biomolecules after completing this concise assignment! There are 75 short-answer questions about the chemical makeup, functions, and relationships between organic molecules....

Students participate in active demonstrations to explore the understanding of cholesterol in an artery. Students stand outside hula hoops to represent an artery. When they are tagged, they become a piece of cholesterol. Students...

In this chemistry worksheet, 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 cholesterol.

You are what you eat, or so they say! After surveying family and friends on a week of eating habits, learners analyze the data for patterns. They compare different variables such as fats and cost, fats and calories, or fats and LDLs. 

Viewers of this slide show learn that pesticides used on food crops can be harmful, but that there are certain allowable levels that should not be hazardous. They find out the rigorous process of inspection that meat must go through...

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. 

How in the world is a musk oxen like a phospholipid? Learners see the fluid mosaic model and all of its complex parts: phospholipids, proteins, glycoproteins, glycolipids, and cholesterol. The video then focuses on the phospholipid's and...

Sixth graders examine the health benefits of rice. In this food benefits lesson, 6th graders discover the nutritious benefits of rice. Students research Celiac Sprue disease and how rice benefits the people with this disease.

Students study heart disease and how to prevent it.  In this investigative lesson students list heart disease and stroke risk factors. 

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