Osmosis and Diffusion Lab
This a great Biology lab to use when you are teaching about cellular transport. Students will see that some substances can pass across the membrane and other substances cannot. This is one of my favorite labs, and my students always enjoy it. Materials needed are: Dialysis Tubing, String, Glucose Solution, Glucose Test Strips, Beakers, Starch Solution, Iodine
Enzyme Lab The Effect of Amylase on Starch
Make your biology class more appealing and exciting by incorporating a variety of fun and interesting labs into your weekly lesson plans. This inquiry-based lab allows students to discover basic information about the functioning of enzymes within cells. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the chemical reactions within cells. Without the aid of enzymes, the chemical reactions of the body would proceed so slow that the reaction would be of no use to the cell.
