Fruit Loops are Macromolecules

Last week in biology class, we messed around with some fruit loops, and not just to eat them, but to learn about macromolecules. We got a piece of string and got some fruit loops and made a long strand of fruit loops. Each yarn represented one macromolecule. Each person had to find someone else and either make a blob, which was macromolecule bunched up with others. Or, you can get two other strands and make a rope like fruit loops, braided into one. I liked how we got to do that because it helped me understand it a lot more than before. I hope we can do some more stuff like that in the future.
