Instructions

Created an outline.

Include the following in your outline:

Name of enzyme you will use

Name of organism (if applicable)

The substrate and products in the chemical reaction

Method for measuring enzyme activity

Treatment: acidic fluid(s), pH, length of exposure, how you will treat your samples

The control(s) in the experiment

Hypothesis

How you will present your data (table and/or type of graph)

Anything else you would like to get feedback on before you start your experiment

****Here is the outline*****

Outline to Final Applied Lab Project:

Enzymes Reaction to Hydrogen Peroxide and Temperatures

Name of enzyme you will use:  Catalase

Substrate and products in the chemical reaction:  Hydrogen Peroxide

Method for measuring enzyme activity:  Balloons

Controls:  Independent: Temperature

Dependent:  Balloon

Length of exposure:  10 minutes

Hypothesis:  The response of enzyme to Hydrogen Peroxide and a specific        temperature

How you will present your data: Bar Graph

Summary of findings

*************************************

Instructions:

Demonstration of your knowledge of basic laboratory skills, experimental design, and/or data evaluation will be assessed by the submission of an applied final lab project.

Based on the outline, and the Lab submitted, the 4 outcomes need to be addressed

Laboratory Assignments

Addresses course outcomes 1-4:

• recognize and explain how the scientific method is used to solve problems
• make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations
• weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method
• use knowledge of biological principles, the scientific method, and appropriate technologies to ask relevant questions, develop hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and draw conclusions
