Apple Lab!

Everyone, please consider this lab as we embark on our study of the cell. Remember that the enzymatic reactions we simulated in class with the apple slices are the same enzymatic reactions that happen inside your cells.

Please use the powerpoint found here, if you would like to show this lab to your family.

If you are doing this at home as a make-up, feel free to google for videos of this lab on YouTube so that you can watch and see what happens and then answer the prompts at the end of the powerpoint.

I appreciate your ability to work well together and adapt to our "lab" environment.

If you have any questions, please email me or send me a chat on remind.
