Enzyme lab


Guidelines for the enzyme lab:
title
purpose (generally, it is to investigate some aspect of hydrogen peroxidase -or catalase- function)  You need to have a purpose specific to your investigation.
Variables: divide into the following three categories.
independent: the one that you manipulate
dependent: the one that you watch
other factors to remain constant
procedure:  This should be a detailed list of steps for your experiment.  You should
-explain the equipment (loggerpro, vernier pressure or O2 probes)
-explain the parameters needed for sampling
-explain amounts of various substances needed
-explain the amount and kinds of data collected.

Class,  when in doubt about something (sample amounts, sampling size, method, etc...) just make p something.
Bad: 'cut a small piece of apple' or 'record some data'
Good:  'get three grams of apple' or 'record data for two three minute trials'
