High schoolers 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...

Pupils observe the effectiveness of detergents on breaking down proteins.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows how proteins are broken down in gelatin and fill out a worksheet. 

Students explain the importance and function of enzymes. They compare and contrast the processes of DNA replication and polymerase chain reactions. They practice using new vocabulary as well.

Investigate the relationships between different deep-sea organisms by DNA sequencing. A worksheet provides instructions for DNA sequencing and space to work. They simulate gel electrophoresis by cutting out paper "DNA strands."...

Students are introduced to DNA microarrays. They discuss how scientists and doctors use them and how they work. They complete a worksheet and discuss their findings.

Learners model recombination in DNA. They color the DNA sample and cut it out. Students use their "restriction enzymes" to cut the DNA into specific fragments. They separate the fragments using the "gel electrotrophoresis." Learners...

Students construct DNA fingerprints. In this genetics lesson, students watch an on-line gel electrophoresis animation, then they work in groups to use a restriction map to create a restriction enzyme and use that to arrange a DNA...

Pupils use limited data and their prior knowledge to solve problems focused on various inhibitors of respiration in this lesson plan on cellular respiration in a molecular level. This lesson plan includes a student handout and a...
