Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Activity of Lipase

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Activity of Lipase lesson plan also includes:
  • Standard Health & Safety Guidance
  • Investigating Effect of Temperature on the Activity of Lipase: Student Sheet
  • Lab & Experiment
  • Join to access all included materials

How does temperature affect lipase activity? Young scholars conduct an experiment to collect data on the interaction of lipase at different temperatures. They add lipase to a solution of milk, sodium carbonate, and phenolphthalein and record the time it takes for a color change to occur.

Concepts

ph, fats, fatty acids, temperature

Additional Tags

science

Instructional Ideas

  • Have each group complete the activity at a different temperature; to save time, compile the data for use as a class

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires an understanding of the behavior of phenolphthalein
  • Gather necessary materials prior to the experiment 

Pros

  • Provides options for additional experiments on the same topic
  • Includes ideas to vary the experiment to emphasize different concepts

Cons

  • None
