• Identify major nutrients in common foods
• Test common foods for the presence of nutrients
• Quantitatively determine Vitamin C in foods.

Working in teams, students are asked to test for and identify, five classes of nutrients: sugar, starch, lipid, protein and vitamin C. Once the tests have been completed and their observations have been made, students are then asked to draw conclusions about their results, the control variable and samples that showed no reaction.

This is an outstanding kit to demonstrate scientific methods, practices, and processes. Tests are simple, quick and safe. A hot water bath is needed for the test of simple sugars. For 30 students. With 30 test tubes, reagents and nutrient samples, student guides and teacher's instruction booklet.
