Description
In this lab activity, students will investigate 3 factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions: denaturation, coenzymes, and competitive inhibitors. Students will perform a simulation of a chemical reaction with an enzyme represented by a hand, the substrate represented by pennies on the ground, and the chemical reaction represented by flipping the pennies over (one at a time) to be heads up on the desk. Each group will complete 4 trials before class data is collected for students to graph, analyze, and write a conclusion from. This is an excellent lab to help your students understand the effect of enzymes on biochemical reactions, and is great to use in a classroom with limited space and materials, because you don’t need much!
*NOTE* Do not purchase if you have already purchased my Energy Flow Unit Bundle or Biology Complete Curriculum Bundle because you already have this product!
How can I use this?
- Practice for understanding enzymes and their effect on biochemical reactions
- As an inquiry investigation before providing any instruction on enzymes
What is included?
- 3 pages of teacher implementation notes (PDF)
- 4 pages of student handouts (PDF)
- Answer Key (PDF)
- Excel spreadsheets to graph class data (Excel)
How much class time will this take?
This lab tends to take 1.5 hours to complete.
Is this editable?
The PDF resources are not editable, but the Excel spreadsheet is!
