Curated OER
Enzymes at Work
The first four questions on this assignment require the use of critical thinking skills to apply the action of enzymes to different situations. Biologists then interpret enzyme activity data in a table and answer questions about it. This...
Curated OER
Enzymes and Catalysts
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...

Digestion of Starch: Microbes
Sugar isn't good for you, but it's great for microbes. A simple experiment has pupils investigate the digestion of starch by microbes to produce sugars. They apply two bacterial cultures, an amylase solution, and distilled water on a...
Curated OER
Enzymes in Action
Students 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.
Curated OER
Enzymes
Students explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them. In this enzymes lesson plan students complete experiments on enzyme properties.
Curated OER
Amylase
Students examine what amylase is and its history. In this digestive instructional activity students study the effect amylase has on starch and how temperature affects the rate of activity.
Curated OER
Enzymes in Action: An Inquiry Approach to the Effects of Enzymes
Students experiment with enzymes as key components of chemical reactions in all living things through this series of lessons.

PhysioEx: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion
In this anatomy worksheet, pupils complete 22 review questions in the format of short answer, table completion, and fill in the blank after finishing an online virtual experiment about the chemical and physical processes of digestion.
Curated OER
Importance of Digestion
For this digestion worksheet, students complete statements using researched information about digestion and the digestive system. Students also sketch several figures that relate to digestion.
Curated OER
Monomer and Polymer Chemistry
Students explain monomer/polymer chemistry of starches and sugars.
