Learn More About This Simulation
Practice makes perfect! In this simulation you will learn how to perform Fehling’s test for reducing sugars on a variety of food samples. You will use your existing knowledge of food macromolecules to predict which food samples contain reducing sugars. You will then process the samples through Fehling’s test, with the help of Dr. One’s step by step guidance, and document your results. How will your predictions compare to your results? Make a prediction Get equipped for Fehling’s test by exploring and assembling the apparatus on the workbench. Now that you’re set up, use your existing knowledge to predict which food samples will contain reducing sugars. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Later you will compare your predictions and results. Perform Fehling’s test Learn how to process food samples through Fehling’s test as if you were in a lab! Dr. One will guide you step by step to process your controls and food samples through Fehling’s test. Check out the colorful results of Fehling’s test and use your controls to determine which result is positive. Is it the brick-red precipitate or the blue solution? Combine the theory of Fehling’s test with your observations to interpret your results and discover which food samples contain reducing sugars. Results vs. Prediction Finally, compare your results to the predictions you made earlier. Did you know which food samples contained reducing sugars? Are there any results that are surprising?

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is only available for purchase by faculty and administration at academic institutions. To procure Labster, simply reach out to us on our website. Schedule a demo, book a meeting to discuss pricing, start a free trial, or simply fill out our contact form.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
