Curated OER
Enzyme Labs Using Jello
Students test for the presence of enzymes in fruit and the specificity of those enzymes, as well as to identify and show the susceptibility of enzymes to certain environmental factors (temperature and pH) originating in the enzyme's...
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 and Jell-O
Students test for the presence of enzymes in fruit and the specificity of those enzymes. They identify the susceptibility of enzymes to certain environmental factors such as temperature and pH in the enzymes environment.
Curated OER
Enzymes
Students explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them. In this enzymes lesson students complete experiments on enzyme properties.
Curated OER
ISOLATION OF DNA FROM ONION
Students perform a laboratory exercise designed to show how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells. They conduct an optional test for the presence of DNA using standard lab equipment.
Curated OER
ISOLATION OF DNA FROM ONION
Students perform a lab in which they extract DNA from onion cells. Students break through the cell and nuclear membranes and then break down the protein that the DNA is wrapped around.
Curated OER
DNA Extraction From Living Things
Young scholars extract DNA from split peas. For this biology lesson, students hypothesize what DNA looks like and perform the experiment to verify their hypothesis. They explain the importance of DNA in living things.
