Grade 11 IBDP Biology students recently sharpened their experimental skills by exploring the fascinating world of enzymes. This practical investigation reinforced their learning about biomolecules, specifically focusing on the factors that influence the rate of enzyme activity. Using catalase extracted from potato tissue and hydrogen peroxide as the substrate, students conducted an engaging experiment. The activity provided a hands-on opportunity to observe how changes in conditions affect biochemical processes. Beyond the lab work, students developed crucial data analysis techniques, translating their observations into meaningful scientific conclusions. It was a successful and insightful experience that effectively brought textbook theory to life!
