Innovating Science™ Small Group Learning: Enzymes And Digestion

Description

Students will expose three nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) to different digestive enzymes. The samples will be compared to nutrients to which no enzymes are added and chemical tests will be used to determine if the enzymes were effective in digesting the compounds.

• Upon completion, students will not only understand the importance of the digestive system but also the vital role enzymes play in releasing nutrients from food and converting them to a form usable by the body.
• Contains enough materials for 5 groups
• Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
• Disciplinary Core Ideas: LS1.A
• Performance Expectations: MS-LS1-3
• Cross Cutting Concepts: Systems and System Models; Science is a Human Endeavor
• Engineering Practices: Engaging in Argument from Evidence
