Lab 2E:
Purpose:
1.) What are the differences in the structures of some common carbohydrates?
2.) What are the differences in texture and taste of different carbohydrates?
3.) How does their structure affect their characteristics?

-Materials:
-Sucrose
-Glucose (dextrose)
-Fructose
-Galactose
-Maltose
-Lactose-Starch
-Cellulose
-Petri dishes, 60x15 mm, sterile
-Plastic spoons
-Paper cups
-Tap water
-Procedure:
Sweet! I new experiment! In this experiment, my group and I had to taste test sugar. All kinds of them (as shown above). We all have to think about and write down the color, texture, and of course, sweetness! Sugar is awesome. It's great. Especially the. . .wait. . .sorry. I am all hyper from trying them.

-Reflection/Conclusion:
For a pretty short experiment, I did enjoy it. I thought it was simple and very easy to understand throughout; taste testing some sugar and write about it. I liked it because it's a simple transition into upcoming projects. For example, in Geometry, we are given very simple problems that we have to figure out. We figure it out in less than a minute, then are given something more complicated. This experiment is somewhat like that. It's to help show my group and I what the teacher is looking for in a simple, fun way. Plus I love sugar, so that's a plus. Overall, I enjoyed working with my teammates, taking notes on everything, and eating. . . no TESTING sugar. Yeah, that's the word ;). Can't wait until wants next!
