This 1-hour practical lesson investigates the effect of temperature on enzyme activity using trypsin to break down casein. It includes knowledge recall, practical setup, data collection, graphing, and methodology write-up. The lesson provides clear instructions on variables, CPAC standards, and safety guidance. Ideal for students starting their A-level practical work.
Learning Objectives:
Investigate how temperature affects enzyme activity.
Record and analyze experimental data.
Write up the methodology for a practical investigation.
This resource is perfect for AQA teachers, offering structured guidance and essential practical skills development.
