Milk does a body good ... unless, of course, someone is lactose intolerant. Pupils play the role of pharmaceutical scientists in a guided inquiry lab about lactase. Lab groups collaborate to learn more about lactose intolerance, how...

Why is lactase important? Biology scholars explore enzyme function in a structured inquiry lab. The activity tasks lab groups with observing how temperature and pH affect enzyme activity, as well as determining which milk products...

Learners examine the characteristics of lactose and lactase.  In this enzyme lesson students study the lactose in milk and its rate of dissolution.

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...

Students experiment with milk to understand the importance of pasteurization. In this pasteurization lesson, students learn background knowledge about bacteria in milk and the process of pasteurization. They complete an experiment to see...

Have you ever wondered why some people are lactose intolerant? Participants test simulated patients in a hands-on lab activity to find out! They learn about lactose intolerance by performing an experiment, analyzing data, and drawing...

Students experiment with lactase to find out how milk sugar is broken down in the body. In this enzyme lesson, students use glucose strips to investigate the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose for milk digestion in the human...

This activity will use glucose strips to explore the function of lactase enzyme in milk. Students will try to understand the lactase enzyme to figure out the basics of lactose intolerance.
