Biology
Honors Biology students started a unit on energy transfers within the cell. We started by seeing if we could transfer enough energy to cause a gummy bear to completely break down chemically and not physically. This led to a discussion of enzymes. Students used Benedict’s solution and iodine tests to provide evidence supporting the action of amylase breaking down carbohydrates in saliva.
