Listen for whispers of “Whoa” as your students notice the water molecules that appear when peptide bonds form!
⚠ Warning
Description
Your students will thank you as dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis finally make sense! Students will build two amino acids as they:
- Discover the repeating structure of amino acid backbones
- Create covalent bonds between carbon, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen atoms
- Explore the CPK color scheme and how bonds and side chains are represented in models
