Enzymes in Action Kit©
Quantity:
Models give words meaning. These colorful foam pieces with intuitive shapes let your students experience enzymes in action before they even know any vocabulary. Collaboration and discourse naturally occur between learners as they figure out what it means for a protein to be a catalyst. The easy-to-use pieces allow small groups of students to:
- Explore how enzymes interact with substrates
- Investigate the active site of an enzyme and its specificity
- Simulate competitive and allosteric inhibition
- Contrast the lock-and-key and induced fit theories using evidence
- Examine how an enzyme may affect activation energy
