What you'll learn

  1. 1

    A practical is a hands-on science experiment. Today we'll look at how to test for glucose using Benedict's solution.

  2. 2

    What is Benedict's solution used for?

  3. 3

    Let's test a sample of orange juice for glucose.

  4. 4

    Now you test a sample! What colour change do you see for a sample with lots of glucose?

  5. 5

    If the Benedict's solution stays blue after heating, what does that mean?

  6. 6

    Drag the correct colour into the test tube to show a positive result for glucose.

  7. 7

    What colour does Benedict's solution turn when there is a small amount of glucose?
