Help me give my students a quality biochemistry lab on enzymes at home.

My Students
I teach Biology and Physiology in a suburban neighborhood. My classes are populated by college-bound students who are engaged, community-minded, energetic, and creative. I have taught for twenty-eight years and honestly, still, feel excited to go to school every day because of the energy and enthusiasm they bring. My students are motivated and excited to learn; however, the school and classrooms are in need of updating.
I teach in a windowless, concrete classroom built in 1974.
Our school is bursting at the seams with about fifteen hundred students on a campus designed to house twelve hundred students. Our school is also old and cannot support the technology we currently have, let alone the new technology we want to bring in. While my students are bright and future-focused, their daily surroundings make it difficult to envision a career in the modern world.
My Project
While we can't be together in person, we can still have fun learning about enzymes. These materials will help students understand what conditions affect enzyme behavior. Hopefully, students will enjoy the hands-on approach to studying biochemistry and be able to connect the dots to many topics we will cover this year.
Understanding enzyme behavior will allow us to better understand a number of problems that can occur in our bodies.
Students will have the opportunity to test their hypotheses and improve upon their experiments as they go. They may even learn a little about cooking as well!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
