Enzyme Lab
Students examine the effects of specific enzymes on samples of liver tissue, muscle tissue (chicken), apples, and potatoes.
Curated OER
Gelatin and Enzyme Lab
Students observe the effectiveness of detergents on breaking down proteins. In this investigative instructional activity students participate in an activity that shows how proteins are broken down in gelatin and fill out a worksheet.
Curated OER
Amylase Enzyme In Saliva
Students test for amaylase enzyme in a variety of substances. Student pairs perform a series of tests to determine how long it takes the starch sample to change to sugar molecules and the blue color to disappear when various saliva...
Curated OER
Catalase and Catalysis
Students explore enzyme catalysis through a series of experiments. In this chemistry instructional activity, students determine the factors affecting catalysis. They explain the different uses of this process.
Curated OER
Control of the Cell Cycle
For this cell cycle worksheet, students review how enzymes control the cell cycle and what happens when the cell cycle becomes uncontrolled. This worksheet has 7 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Enzymatic Action
Students observe how a cell uses an enzyme to rid itself of a poisonous substance by experimenting with hydrogen peroxide, potatoes, liver and carrots. They record the temperature and changes of the hydrogen peroxide as other elements...
Curated OER
Science Lesson: Chocolate Flavored Cherries
Students are able to identify start and stop sequences in DNA. They are able to model using restriction enzyme and ligase to remove sections of DNA and reattach them. Students are introduced to the process of recombinat DNA through the...
