Main part (collaborative and independent activities ___ min
incorporating STEM):
Main part (collaborative and independent activities
incorporating STEM):
Step 1: Label the test tubes accordingly.
Step 2: Add Benedict’s solution to test tube
A10 and place cooked rice in test tube A.
Step 3: Add 20 ml of amylase solution to test
tube A and place it in the 38°C water bath for
10 minutes.
Step 4: Transfer 2 ml of liquid from test tube A
to A10.
Step 5: Place test tube A10 in an 80°C water
bath for 10 minutes.
Step 6: Record observations in a table.
Step 7: Repeat the steps for test tubes W and
W10 using distilled water instead of amylase.
Step 8: Compare and analyze results.
Differentiation (content, process, product, ___ min
support) Choice Board: Provide sentence starters
for students needing additional support in writing
conclusions.
Allow advanced students to explore variables that
could affect enzyme activity (e.g., pH,
temperature).
UAE link: ___ min
Discuss the importance of enzymes in food
processing industries in the UAE.
Connect the lab to digestion and health,
particularly dietary habits in the region.
Real Life Application:
___ min
Explain how amylase functions in the human digestive system.
Discuss enzyme applications in food industries (e.g., bread-making, dairy
production).
Extension work to avoid waiting time (HA and G&T):
___ min
Investigate the effect of pH or temperature on amylase
activity.
Explore how different starch sources (e.g., potatoes, bread)
respond to amylase.
