Creating an Enzyme-Substrate Model
Young scholars explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function.
Students graph and...

Enzymes in Action
Enzymes play a role in almost every function in the human body. Scholars explore three variables related to the use of enzymes. They observe a catalase reaction, experiment with substrates, and examine reactions rates.

Cell respiration
Three lab guides are given here that detail experiments to illustrate the oxidation of glucose for the production of ATP. The first will compare photosynthesis and respiratio and show theimporatnce of both to plants. The next will show...
Curated OER
Enzyme Action
Students work with models of substrates and of enzymes and test the digestion of lactose with lactase. They determine if digestion of lactose has or has not occurred.

Hydroponics
These attractive, clear slides summarize hydroponics. They cover details concerning nutrients, solutions, flooding issues, media types, and commercial use.
Curated OER
Taking Action
Students use the net they make to dip macroinvertebrates at or below the surface. The flat side of the net allows pressure on the substrate so that organisms do not escape under the net. Two students hold onto the handles and submerge...
Curated OER
Hidden Animals
Students predict the safest seashore substrate for animals. In this animal habitat experiment, students predict, test their hypothesis, and record data about how wave shocks affect animals living on either sand, gravel or rock.

Qualitative Kinetics: Examining the Effect of an Enzyme on a Reaction
Scholars learn about kinetics and buffers as they use qualitative and quantitative methods to understand enzyme rates and buffer capacity. The application of Beer's Law and spectrophotometry solidifies pupils' knowledge in the first of...
Curated OER
Organic Molecules
Students explore organic compounds. Using humor, factual and conceptual correctness, students create a skit explaining organic compounds. Students include topics such as sugar, polymerization, unraveling of proteins, and substrates. ...
