Part of Lesson Plan: Making Apple Juice

Activity Overview / Details

Students create their juice-o-meter in a group of two.  Teacher makes the groups be dividing up into enzyme groups and then different volume amounts of each enzyme. 

Teacher moves through room checking for proper technique. 

During the 30 minutes when the apple juice is draining.  Teacher can present the class data table on the board and how each student must figure out their average data and then put that numerical value on the data table.  

Concept:  This is a great time while you are waiting for the liquid to drain to talk about how enzymes work.  I use the analogy of chemical scissors or glue.  Enzymes put molecules together or break them down.
