Modeling Enzyme Activity with Pool Noodles

Enzymes and how they function is such vital concept to understand for AP Biology, but it can be challenging to understand something that you can't actually see.  Last year was the first time we worked with pool noodles trying to demonstrate how enzymes work. Here's the blog post about it. I thought it went well and decided to do it again this year. Since last year, I have discovered Expo neon window markers.  This year, instead of labeling our pool noodle enzymes on white boards, students just wrote right on their lab tables. It looked fabulous!
