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.

Biological molecules unit This comprehensive 1-hour lesson covers the key factors affecting enzyme action, including temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. Designed to engage students of all abilities, the lesson includes a range of tasks, graphs, and exam-style questions. With clear teacher notes and suggested images, this resource ensures that every concept is fully covered according to the AQA specification. Learning Objectives: Measure the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Explain how temperature affects enzyme activity, including the concepts of optimum temperature and denaturation. Describe the impact of pH on enzyme activity and the importance of optimum pH. Understand how substrate concentration affects reaction rates, including the idea of active site saturation. Analyze how enzyme concentration influences reaction rates, considering the saturation point. This resource includes PowerPoint slides with differentiated tasks, clear explanations, and engaging plenary activities to reinforce learning. Perfect for A-level biology teachers looking for a ready-to-use lesson aligned with the AQA specification.
