1. Lipids (Fats) Triglycerides and phospholipids are two groups of lipid.
Triglycerides are formed by the condensation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid.
A condensation reaction between glycerol and a fatty acid (RCOOH) forms an ester bond.
The R-group of a fatty acid may be saturated or unsaturated.
In phospholipids, one of the fatty acids of a triglyceride is substituted by a phosphate-containing group.
The different properties of triglycerides and phospholipids related to their different structures.
The emulsion test for lipids.
Students should be able to:
•• recognise, from diagrams, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
•• explain the different properties of triglycerides and phospholipids.

2. - name the two types of lipids.
Outcomes:
- name the two types of lipids.
- Outline using diagrams how triglycerides are formed from its parts
- describe and explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids.
- discuss the roles of triglycerides
Identify the two types of Lipids
What are the components of each type of lipid?
What are the properties of the lipids?
What are the functions/roles of lipids?
10 – go through the roles of different lipids.

3. Triglycerides 1 molecule of glycerol
Outcomes:
- name the two types of lipids.
- Outline using diagrams how triglycerides are formed from its parts
- describe and explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids.
- discuss the roles of triglycerides
Triglycerides
15 – making with molymods too.
Annotate the parts on the board with the students whilst they draw diagrams. Q: why are they called fatty acids? COOH – link to chemistry.
After building molymods
Q: why would you not call these polymers?
1 molecule of glycerol
3 molecules of fatty acids joined by condensation reactions

4. Roles of Triglycerides:
Outcomes:
- name the two types of lipids.
- Outline using diagrams how triglycerides are formed from its parts
- describe and explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids.
- discuss the roles of triglycerides
Roles of Triglycerides:
Energy source (lipids contain twice the energy content as carbohydrates)
Waterproofing (lipids are insoluble, some plants have a waxy cuticle to keep out the water from leaves)
A good term to use is hydrophobic
Insulation (fats are slow conductors of heat and good insulators to retain heat)
Protection (fats are often stored around internal organs to protect them) 5

5. Saturated fats vs Unsaturated fats
Outcomes:
- name the two types of lipids.
- Outline using diagrams how triglycerides are formed from its parts
- describe and explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids.
- discuss the roles of triglycerides
Saturated fats vs Unsaturated fats
The fatty acid chains don’t always have to be the same length.
Different fats have different length of the fatty acid.
Also sometimes they chains have double bonds in
15 building different fatty acids.
Define the terms saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated.
