Enzyme practical sheets for LPA/SEND

A series of worksheets I have used over the years with LPA/SEND students, covering the enzymes topic. All have been heavily scaffolded, and some practicals have been simplified to help student understanding. I don’t necessarily use all practicals in one scheme of learning but have included them all here for people to use/discard as they wish.

Some resources contain multiple levels of scaffold within the same document.

Included practicals:

• Enzymes intro (testing starch, starch + amylase, starch + saliva with iodine)
• Effect of extreme temperatures on amylase
• Effect of extreme temperatures and pH on amylase (denaturing enzymes)
• Effect of temperature on amylase (measuring rate over time)
• Effect of temperature on catalase (hydrogen peroxide and potato)
• Effect of concentration on catalase (hydrogen peroxide and potato)

I have also included a working scientifically task looking at pH and enzymes (no practical required, but an idea of how the practical would work is needed)
