LESSON PLAN
Learning Objectives:
● understand the role of enzymes as biological catalysts in metabolic
reactions
● understand how temperature changes can affect enzyme function, including
changes to the shape of the active site
● understand how enzyme function can be affected by changes in pH altering
the active site
Instructional Methods:
Begin the lesson by asking students to recall their previous knowledge of enzymes
and their importance in living organisms. Share the lesson objectives and explain
that today's lesson will delve deeper into enzyme functions, focusing on
temperature and pH.
Use the whiteboard and diagrams to illustrate the structure of enzymes and their
active sites. Explain how enzymes act as biological catalysts and facilitate
metabolic reactions. Provide examples of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, such as
digestion and respiration.
Discuss the concept of temperature affecting enzyme function. Show a graph
depicting the relationship between temperature and enzyme activity. Explain the
two main temperature-related phenomena: enzyme activity increasing with
temperature up to an optimal point and denaturation beyond that point. Use
real-life examples to illustrate these concepts.
Introduce the concept of pH affecting enzyme activity. Display a pH scale chart
and discuss the acidic, neutral, and alkaline ranges. Explain how changes in pH
can alter the shape of the enzyme's active site, affecting its function. Provide
practical examples of pH influencing enzyme activity in the human body.
Engage students in a class discussion about the practical applications of
understanding enzyme function, temperature, and pH in fields like medicine and
biotechnology. Encourage students to ask questions and share their thoughts on
the topic.
Summarize the key points of the lesson, emphasizing the role of enzymes as
biological catalysts and how temperature and pH affect their function.
