Enzymes: The Spit Lab
Enzymes in our bodies each have a job to do. Learn the factors that affect the activity of some enzymes using the third activity of an informative 12-part biology series. A three-part laboratory activity asks teams to investigate how...
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
Gelatin and Enzyme Lab
Students observe the effectiveness of detergents on breaking down proteins. In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows how proteins are broken down in gelatin and fill out a worksheet.
Curated OER
Sensational Slime
Students mix solutions of polyvinyl alcohol and borax. They predict what happen and record their observations. They prepare a T-chart comparing Jell-o to their mixture.
Curated OER
Enzymes and Jell-O
Young scholars 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
Sensational Slime
Students predict, observe and draw conclusions while working on an experiment with "slime." Students accurately record observations and draw conclusions about the experiment.

Serc: How Enzymes Work
In this biology lab, students use pineapple juice as an enzyme, and jello as a substrate to illustrate an enzyme/substrate complex.
