Fat Molecular Model – Glyceryl Tristearate

Fat molecular model illustrating the structure of glyceryl tristearate for chemistry and biology education.

This self-assembly molecular model kit provides a clear, hands-on way to explore the molecular structure of fats using glyceryl tristearate as a representative example. Designed to support learning in chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition, the model helps students visualise how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are arranged to form triglycerides. By physically building the molecule, learners gain a stronger understanding of molecular bonding, structure, and the role of fats in biological systems.
