Raw Liver Latte Lab. and the Milk Lab

 Today we did a lab where we used raw pork liver enzyme to speed up the rate of reaction.  Our reaction was a decomposition reaction where Hydrogen Peroxide decomposed into water and oxygen.  We used both raw liver and partially cooked liver and observed the results.  



Write up this lab as a lab report. Format may be one of the following

1. Handwritten in ink and drawings as observations

2.  Word document with photos as observations

3.  Powerpoint format (include a pdf version in case ppt does not load.  upload as a file instead of sharing a link)

You may work as a group, however, each member of the group must do a task and you must include the % that each person contributed to the entire project. this can be the last page of your report.  You may also work individually. 

LAB REPORT FORMAT

Purpose: Write the purpose of this experiment. Include the balanced equation. 

Procedure: Draw a cartoon of exactly what you did and include photos of your procedure

Observations: 

Use words and images  (drawings or photos or screengrabs of video ) to describe what happened.  hint, your video might include an image of the flame that is more dramatic than a photo. Screengrab the best image).  

Discussion:

Explain your observations.  What was the foam that was made? Why did the glowing splint ignite? Did the heated up liver make a bigger or smaller reaction? 

Conclusion: Write a conclusion summarizing what you learned about enzymes during this lab 


Evaluation:

Liver Latte Experiment: 40 marks. 

35-40.  your lab report is a brilliant and detailed summary of your experiment.  You meticulously record the procedure in a creative format that communicates exactly what was done.  Your observations show what happened, including some of the unexpected things.  Your discussion is well written and you show evidence for your explanations.  Your conclusion is a great summary of the experiment and you reference what you know about enzymes in your report.  Brilliant work. 

32-34. your lab report is an excellent detailed summary of your experiment.  You  record the procedure in a creative format that communicates exactly what was done.  Your observations show what happened, including some of the unexpected things.  Your discussion is well written and you show good reasoning for your explanations.  Your conclusion is a great summary of the experiment and you reference what you know about enzymes in your report. Excellent work

20-30 your lab report is a  detailed summary of your experiment.  Yourecord the procedure in a creative format that communicates clearly what was done.  Your observations show what happened.  Your discussion is well written but you must show a bit more evidence for your explanations.  Your conclusion is a great summary of the experiment and you reference what you know about enzymes in your report. 

0-20. This is a great start and it needs more writing to finish the work. 


MILK LAB WRITE UP /10 marks

You did a lab where you dropped food dye in milk and then you added a drop of soap.  Write a one page observation of what you found and explain how this happened using your best hypothesis. 

Include a photo.
