Class 3 Biology – a topic on macromolecules and food tests, enabled our students to experience the use of different scientific equipment and reagents to observe colour changes.<\/h3>\n

Food tests were done to identify the presence of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Carbohydrates changed Benedict’s reagent from blue –> orange. Lipids were tested by adding ethanol and distilled water to the food sample causing a colour change from clear–> cloudy. Proteins were tested by Biuret reagent, with a colour change from blue –> purple. They were really excited with the colour changes, recording them on tables and writing their experimental reports.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

With practical lessons, a student’s capabilities are laid bare, and there is no hiding behind memory tricks. A student is only assessed on how much they understood the subject matter, as opposed to how well they can memorize and repeat it. Practical lessons mimic the real world!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
