Instructional Ideas
  • Gather edible candies and construct a model, like the one used in the video, to represent an enzymatic protein reaction
  • Have different groups in the class research protein dysfunctions and their subsequent problems; they should report these findings as a slide presentation
Classroom Considerations
  • Assist learners with any research or instruction as they complete activities associated with the video
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Video segment may be used as a supplement to an already existing lesson plan on enzymatic reactions and protein binding
  • Allows for differentiated instruction to customize the material to meet class members' needs
