Wondering how to demonstrate cellulose breakdown and explain how reaction speed relates to biofuel production amounts?
Introduce your students to relevant, real-world topics such as sustainability and renewable energy with this hands-on experiment, “Introduction to Biofuels: Enzyme Action”! Get the tools you need to conduct an engaging quantitative enzyme tracking activity with your students using a standards-aligned method for modeling biomass conversion reactions using Vernier spectrophotometers.
What You'll Learn
In this webinar, Damon Tighe of Bio-Rad Laboratories and John Melville, PhD, of Vernier Science Education will
✔ Demonstrate a hands-on experiment using Vernier spectrophotometers to detect enzymatic activity through color change.
✔ Use the Vernier Spectral Analysis® app to construct calibration curves and determine unknown concentrations.
✔ Provide educators with the complete experiment, outlining the steps to recreate the inquiry activity in the lab.
✔ Offer tips and guidance for storing materials, maximizing experiment efficiency, and helping students learn from failed reactions.
