Applications
- reaction kinetics - rate graphs, orders, equilibria
- measurement of concentrations
-
investigations with enzymes - effects of temperature, pH, inhibitors - enzyme
kinetics
- quantitative determination of biological molecules - sugars, protein, vitamins,
- quantitative determination of inorganic ions - nitrate, phosphate, etc
- population growth of micro-organisms
- and many more that inventive teachers and students will discover.
The investigations described on this website use mainly simple techniques and
apparatus.They provide creative opportunities to develop and demonstrate skills
of planning, presentation, processing and analysis of data, graph work, error
assessment, etc. The open-ended nature of the suggested practicals provides plenty
of opportunity for extended investigations and for students to develop their own
modifications.
