Science in the FCS Classroom 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”.
