Laboratory work #4: «Constructing Amino Acid Molecules and Identifying the Asymmetric Carbon Atom»
Description: In this lesson, students model amino acid molecules using plasticine and toothpicks. They learn to assemble the general formula of amino acids, identify the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom, and distinguish amino acids based on their radical (R). The activity provides a visual understanding of amino acid structures and helps consolidate knowledge of amino acids.
