Young scholars explore the role of enzymes in chemical reactions. In this enzymes lesson plan, students use hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide to observe a chemical reaction. Young scholars observe the rates of reactions of chalk,...

Students explore enzyme catalysis through a series of experiments. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the factors affecting catalysis. They explain the different uses of this process.

Students participate in a laboratory investigation in which they observe the effect of temperature and pH on enzyme activity. Students also examine exposure to heavy metal ions and the effect that may have on enzyme activity.

Students investigate the enzyme catalase. In this enzyme lesson plan, students observe a normal catalase reaction, they observe liver tissue, potato, chicken and apple for the enzyme catalase and they study the effects of temperature and...

Middle schoolers discuss the functioning of the digestive system and the specific enzymes present. They observe the action of amylase on starch to identify characteristics of enzymes then perform an experiment on the effects of...

Enzymes in our bodies each have a job to do. Learn the factors that affect the activity of some enzymes using the third activity of an informative 12-part biology series. A three-part laboratory activity asks teams to investigate how...

Students examine the effects of specific enzymes on samples of liver tissue, muscle tissue (chicken), apples, and potatoes.
