Apologia Biology: Enzymes

Module 5 has DNA and a little about enzymes.  This particular module is packed!  I like Dr. Wile's jello experiment--but it's more of a demonstration.  You may want to use this POGIL activity: Enzymes and Cellular Regulation.  If your students are sharp, try a POGIL exercise.  Ignore their groans!  POGIL is like CERs; they make kids think!

While we're discussing cell processes, Photosynthesis and Respiration is another POGIL exercise.  I use these sparingly--perhaps once every other month.  POGIL is widely used in Honors classes.  Tell your kids that.  Flatter them!  It might make these exercises more palatable!
