Enzyme Intro

Question for the day
What are enzymes and why are they an essential part of living systems? (take a minute and talk at your table, brainstorm on your whiteboard)

Agenda for the day

In a group of 5, you will receive a set of locks and keys.  
On your whiteboard, write down at least 5 observations about the locks and keys.  You should try to use the keys to unlock the locks (make sure you take a picture of your whiteboard). You have 10 minutes

Share observations with the larger group.

In your same group, you will get a new set of keys.  What predictions can you make based on the previous set?  Please write down at least three predictions on your whiteboards. Once you receive your new set of keys, test your predictions.  Were your predictions valid?  Why or why not? Again record information on the whiteboard, and make 3 additional observations (again, take a picture to record your information).

Share additional observations
