| Name | Enzyme Reaction Rates Lab Using Toothpicks |
| Description | This exercise was planned originally to work as a pre-lab activity for advanced biology students and the AP Biology Lab on enzyme catalysis.
Working with enzymes and V-max, initial rates of reaction and final rates of reaction are conceptually difficult because of so many abstractions. Students need something visible to understand how enzymes work. They participate in a dialogue about enzymes, substrates, and the calculation of rates of reaction. The students become the enzyme, toothpickase, which breaks toothpicks in timed intervals. Calculations are completed to determine how many toothpicks are broken per second to determine the rate of reaction of the enzyme toothpickase.
The time for the completion of this activity is approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
