Fibers, Dyes, and the Environment
Nanofibers can be made through electrospinning or force spinning in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Pupils study the role of fibers and dye on the environment through a series of five hands-on activities. Then,...

Speedy Cat: Enzymes
Enzymes have a need for speed! What happens when they are forced to slow down? A well-rounded lesson plan from the K20 Center examines enzyme activity through role playing and a lab. Biology scholars work in teams and pairs to understand...

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...

Enzymes
Many people know enzymes help with digestion, but few realize enzyme production decreases with age, making it more difficult for bodies to digest certain foods. A worksheet offers 28 fill-in-the-blank and short-answer questions over...
Curated OER
Enzyme Practice Sheet Key
In this enzyme activity, students solve 6 problems including questions about how enzymes work, graphs of the relationship between enzyme and substrate and structures of enzymes.
Curated OER
Enzymes
Young scholars explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them. In this enzymes lesson students complete experiments on enzyme properties.

Living in Extreme Environments
Learners examine the characteristics of the ocean floor and the importance of of extreme environments. In this investigative lesson students use four methods to sample populations, gather, record and analyze data from a scientific...
Curated OER
Are Enzymes Specific for Their Substrates?
Students discover enzyme to substrate specificity. The experiment uses samples of glucose and lactose in combination with the enzyme lactase. Students observe the reaction between the lactose and the lactase; the lack of a reaction...

Enzyme Activity: An Inquiry Based Approach
Using an inquiry approach to studying biochemical reactions, cooperative teams of students investigate hypotheses about living materials that contain enzymes which break down in hydrogen peroxide. They perform experiments, practice...
Curated OER
Engineering Application: What Can I Build On?
Students explore how earthquakes cause structures to move and how the substrate beneath them may actually cause them to fail. They create mock buildings and place them in level tubs of various substrates. They then put each through a...
