If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science: Enzymes Activity is a perfect fit!
This no-prep enzymes worksheet introduces students to biochemical engineer Dr. Frances Arnold and helps them explore how enzymes can be studied, changed, and used to solve real-world problems. Students will connect biology concepts like proteins, enzyme function, substrates, temperature, pH, and structure and function to modern biotechnology and engineering.
I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real scientists doing exciting work.
Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.
This activity fits perfectly when teaching enzymes, proteins, biochemical reactions, enzyme structure and function, or biotechnology. Students will learn how Dr. Arnold used directed evolution to improve enzymes and create proteins that can help make medicines, reduce waste, support cleaner manufacturing, and solve environmental problems.
Your students will see that enzymes are not just tiny helpers in a textbook diagram. They are powerful proteins that scientists can study, improve, and use to change the world.
