Are All Sugars The Same?
Ever wonder if table sugar is the same as sugars found in honey, fruits, etc? For middle school students who are interested in chemistry, this science fair project from Michael Calhoun of Education.com that compares various forms of sugar is sure to be a hit!
To provide a foundation for the experiment, consider a more in-depth look at the following terms...
- Carbohydrate
- Sucrose
- Fructose
- Monosaccharides
- Disaccharides
What's great about this experiment is that you won't need a bunch of specialty equipment in order complete it. Test tubes and reagent tablets for urine sugar testing are the only two things you may not have on hand or readily available!
