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
