Fatty Acids

Teaching young scientists about atoms is no small task, but this series of worksheets will make it a little easier. From creating and labeling Bohr models, to identifying information provided in the periodic table of elements, this...

Food always gets attention! Model atomic structure using fruit loops to represent the subatomic particles. After building models, scholars create ionic bonds using their models. Finally, they use these concepts to create a periodic table.

Humans need lipids to digest and absorb food, yet studies prove having too many lipids correlates to cancer, Alzheimer's, and asthma. Scholars learn the characteristics of lipids and their functions using a helpful presentation. A few...

Atomic models help us visualize the interactions of substances we cannot see. Explore atomic models, specifically Lewis structures, that show valence electrons and their role in bonds.

Take it or leaf it, the video teaches the structure of leaves. It includes a discussion of stomata and the importance of transpiration. It also explains the role of chloroplasts.

Viewers get a step-by-step explanation for drawing Lewis Dot Diagrams with a video that includes numerous examples of atoms, simple molecules, and how to represent covalent bonds. 

Bad fat, good fat, trans fat, food fat—are all fats created equal? Get to the bottom of the types of fat with a well-crafted presentation. The resource covers adipose tissue, lipids, trans fats, and many other substances that fall under...

Humans need fat for energy and nutrition, but how much is too much? A short animation shows the pathway of fat as it enters the body, breaks down through digestion, and travels for use or storage. Teaching tips offer multiple ways to...

Each human contains more than six times the number of fat cells than there are people on the planet. Scholars learn how fat cells work to absorb fat and release hormones through a short animation. They recognize the relationship between...

A lab experiment in a series of experiments that explores Earth Science Systems. In this lab, students study the four components of the Earth system by diagraming the flow of energy and matter through it.
