b: train
What: "After they have done this, I talk about how a carbohydrate is like a train, a string of monosaccharides. When I added water, the train broke up. When the water was taken away, the 'train' reformed. I go over the derivation of the terms, hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis. Students tell me that this demonstration is one of the things they remember most years later." If your teaching basic biochemistry, the link describes techniques for illustrating some basic yet hard grasp ideas about carbohydrate digestion.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
