CARRYING OUT WEB SEARCHES

Some hints for carrying out Web searches:

• In the USA and several other countries, 'cider' is non-alcoholic apple juice. Hence a search for 'cider' may turn up some useful information.
• Immobilise is spelt with a 'z' in the USA. Hence a search for an 'immobilized enzyme' may be more fruitful than a search for an immobilised one.

Safety guidelines for practical work with enzymes in schools
can be found here.

CARRYING OUT WEB SEARCHES

For those schools and colleges following the Edexcel A/S GCE and A Level GCE in Biology and Human Biology, there is a useful Teacher's guide which describes how several of the investigations in this booklet may be used for assessment purposes. This booklet can be downloaded as an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file from: http://www.edexcel.org.uk
