Enzyme Activity Science Fair Kit (Y7–10)

Suitable for Years 7–10 science fair projects in NZ schools

A simple and engaging science fair project kit that explores how enzymes react under different conditions and how their activity can be affected.

What students do:
Investigate how enzymes break down substances by testing how different conditions such as temperature affect the rate of reaction.

What this investigates:
How enzymes function and how factors like temperature influence enzyme activity and reaction speed.

Variables to explore:

• Test how temperature affects enzyme activity
• Compare enzyme reactions in warm and cold conditions
• Observe how enzyme activity changes over time
