This three-day lesson is designed to help students uncover the fascinating world of enzymes by combining curiosity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration. It begins with engaging “sticky note” activities and a video that spark discussion about real-life changes in the body, leading into partner research on digestive enzymes. On day two, students dive deeper by working in groups to teach one another core concepts such as activation energy, the lock-and-key model, and the impact of temperature and inhibitors, supported by comics, short readings, and teacher-guided clarification. The final day brings everything together through a microscope-based lab and debrief, where students use evidence to explain enzyme-substrate interactions and reaction rates. Throughout, the plan blends inquiry, multimedia resources, peer teaching, and lab work to make enzymes come alive, ensuring students not only learn the science but also experience the joy of discovery
