Fat Balloons


• TEKS Addressed:– Lifetime Nutrition and Wellness

• 1(A) Classify nutrients, their functions, and food sources and compare the nutritive value of various foods

– Food Science• 17(A) compare the properties of saturated and

unsaturated fatty acids

– Culinary Arts• 6(A) The students understands the basics of nutrition


Suggestions for Using “Fat Balloons”:1. Have students list examples of food that

contain the type of fat they have illustrated.2. Use the balloons as a visual when discussing

the types of fat used in recipes in the laboratory.

3. For fun have “fat building” races and see who can build their molecule the fastest and the most accurate… Then give then a “Fat Prize”.
