| Abstract: | In high school biology, students are challenged by many molecular concepts and structures. They meander through a number of molecular structures, some in macromolecular form: carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids, nucleotides. Student difficulties arise in part from inability to visualize what they can't easily see. Students struggle moving from chemical name to symbolic chemical formula and from symbolic representation to the physical one. The problem with physical representation resides at opposite ends: the macroscopic level of directly observable physical and chemical properties and the microscopic level of molecular form and dimensions. |
