Students 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 temperature on...

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...

Young scholars explore how enzymes are important in the chemical reactions of all living things.  In this enzymes and catalysts lesson students complete an activity to see how enzymes change living things.

Students explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them.  In this enzymes lesson students complete experiments on enzyme properties.

Young scholars examine what amylase is and its history.  For this digestive lesson students study the effect amylase has on starch and how temperature affects the rate of activity.

Students experiment with enzymes as key components of chemical reactions in all living things through this series of lessons.
