Enzyme Kinetics—Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Enzymes play an essential role in our bodies every day whether we real- ize it or not! Understanding enzyme kinetics is necessary to understand how enzymes function. Enzymes known as peroxidases protect plant and animal cells against damage by catalyzing the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, a natural but toxic by-product of cellular respiration. Watch students make the connection of how the enzyme concentration and substrate concentration affect the rate of the peroxidase-catalyzed decom- position of hydrogen peroxide. An ideal activity to teach enzyme structure and function, kinetics and rate laws and enzyme-substrate binding.
Complete for 24 students working in pairs.
Chemical Testing of DNA—Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Explore the procedures used in the chemical testing of nucleic acids! Nucleic acids—RNA and DNA— are essential macromolecules involved in the storage, transfer and expression of genetic information. Students will marvel at their ability to extract nuclear material from fruit and deter- mine its composition using simple chemical tests. From there, students analyze the isolated nucleic acid macromolecule to verify the composition of the phosphate, deoxyribose and nucleotide groups.
Complete for 24 students working in pairs.
Silver Ornaments—Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Illustrate the chemistry of oxidation–reduction reactions by creating a beautiful silver ornament! Simply combine four solutions in a glass ornament ball, swirl and viola—a thin, lustrous, silver coating plates onto the inside of the ornament. Besides creating a beautiful ornament, students also calculate the thickness of the silver mirror and estimate the number of atoms in the silver layer. You will find students “reflecting” on oxidation-reduction reactions in a whole new way!
Complete for 24 students working in pairs.
