Students in Class 7-8 have embarked on an Organic Chemistry block and are discovering how sweet science can be. This week we looked at sugars—how they are used in the home and in our bodies. We built a sucrose molecule with M&Ms. We made peanut brittle, exploring what happens to sucrose when it’s heated, and we studied the process of photosynthesis, marveling at the cycle of life that all living beings participate in.
