Lincoln Park Academy students in Ms. Saxton-Hertz and Ms. Bernard – Mark’s IB MYP Biology classes completed the Pineapple Enzyme Lab using gelatin as the protein and pineapple as the enzyme. Students learned how to denature the bromelain from the pineapple by adjusting temperature and pH levels. This lab directly ties in to SC.912.L.18.4 and relates the structure and function of enzymes by allowing students to use hands-on activities to become proficient with the standard.
