Who’s Got The Flu?
Become an immunologist for the day. Scholars elicit the use of the enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) to diagnose an infectious disease. Through the process, they learn about the immune system response to infectious diseases.
Curated OER
Lactose & Lactase
Students examine the characteristics of lactose and lactase. In this enzyme activity students study the lactose in milk and its rate of dissolution.
Curated OER
Amylase
Learners examine what amylase is and its history. In this digestive activity students study the effect amylase has on starch and how temperature affects the rate of activity.
