FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Catalase: An Enzyme Common to Both Plants and Animals”


by Science Stuff
7th - 12th Grade
Search words: Enzyme, catalyst, substrate, hydrogen peroxide, peroxisome, lab lesson plan.
NOTE: This product is also available in a bundled product called Biology Labs: 15 Must Do Labs for a Biology Class
Catalase is an enzyme that is commonly found in plant and animal tissues. The function of the enzyme catalase is to break down the chemical hydrogen peroxide inside living cells. Because it is toxic, or poisonous, hydrogen peroxide would soon kill the cell if it were not removed or broken down immediately. Manganese dioxide is an inorganic catalyst. Catalysts are similar to enzymes in that they speed up chemical reactions, but they are not specific for just one reaction. 
In this lab, students will observe the function of enzymes and will learn many facts about enzymes. They will observe the role of catalase inside living cells and will compare the enzyme catalase to the catalyst manganese dioxide.
Materials needed: Fresh plant and animal tissue, Test tubes and racks, Boiled animal tissues, Manganese dioxide, 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, Sand, Mortar and pestle
Your download will include Introduction, Materials, Procedure, Student Data Pages, Follow Up Questions, Answers, and Teacher Preparation Notes.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Entomophagy Bug Bistro Menu”

by TruthMe
3rd - 5th Grade



While teaching entomophagy to your students this year, incorporate a menu that truly shows some scrumptious dishes! This is a .doc file instead of pdf so that you may custom the title to your own school and the bottom may be customed to show your city. This item is set up to look just like a menu but the items are little more exotic than most that they are used to. This makes an excellent addition to an entomophagy health unit. Describes the type of insect, where it is popular as a food, and how it is eaten. Includes prices for a menu look. Keep a look out for more entomophagy health items to create your own unit this year!

FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON - “Current Event Articles: Foreign Language, Social Studies, Government”

by La Profesora Frida
5th - 12th Grade
Let's dispel the myth of the "ignorant American" by allowing an opportunity for our students to study current events in other countries on a regular basis.
This could be a weekly, monthly, semester, or year long project for any classroom! This activity is perfectly suited for a government class, world history, social studies, or foreign language class. But I can see this research being done in so many different classes. It would be a wonderful activity for a speech/public speaking class too.
I wrote this document for use in my Spanish classes, but as you can see, it can easily be changed for any foreign language classroom, social studies, or government class. And being the creative teacher that YOU are, I'm sure you can think of many more applications!
My students are having a blast this semester with this activity. They know that every Thursday their Current Event Article is due, and they get to share the articles they found for the week with their classmates. I also offer a few points of extra credit for students who share their articles in front of the class-- You wouldn't believe how many students clamber to share their articles! And they find the most interesting news!! They're not only keeping themselves and their classmates up to date on world news, they're helping to keep ME up to date! My only regret is that I didn't start using this at the beginning of the school year!
I hope this document works for you! If you have a wonderful experience or anecdote about using this product in your class, please share it here! And please visit my other products. Thank you!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “The Potter Games: Using Interactive Fiction to Improve Reading”


by Tracee Orman
7th - 12th Grade
The Potter Games (www.thepottergames.com) is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure interactive fiction game that combines the characters from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series with the setting of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The setting: It's a fictional alternate universe in which Voldemort has taken over and after reading The Hunger Games, has decided he'd like to punish the wizarding world with his own Hunger Games.
Students read the passages for the different "tributes" and select which path they would take next. There is only one path to becoming a Victor (and there are 24 tributes), so this internet-based activity gives students numerous reading exercises and critical-thinking/problem-solving practice. 
Choose-your-own-adventure stories have been used effectively to improve reading comprehension and analytical skills. 
Take it a step further and have students write their own Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game. By having them write, they'll be using even more problem-solving and creative-thinking skills, and sharing with their classmates will give them ample peer editing opportunities. Directions are included.
I included a credit page of all the contributors to The Potter Games. I was honored to be one of the writers/editors for this great project that combines two of my favorite novel series! This is a fan-made website and is not affiliated with Rowling or Collins, Scholastic, or Lionsgate.
Thanks for downloading & don't forget to leave feedback!
