Twenty-first century teaching is no longer about the four walls of the classroom. There was a time when a learner of English had to rely almost solely on what went on within those walls. A really motivated learner might have been able to listen to the BBC World Service, see a film in English and, if they could afford it, buy an English newspaper or book, but the teacher’s role in the students’ language learning was key – they were the fount of all knowledge, the model for the language, the ‘one true source’. The classroom provided the space for the once, perhaps twice weekly, forays into an English-speaking world. But that was before the coming of the digital age. Any technophobes out there might be tempted to stop reading, but before you do, consider this.

Fordham Institute - America's leading source of analysis, commentary and purposeful action in pursuit of educational excellence for every child. ScienceSimulations. Enzyme Kinetics A piece of experimental research requires at least three kinds of work: planning of experiments, performance of the experiments and interpretation of the results.

ScienceSimulations

Only the middle stage involves laboratory work, and it is on this that traditional biochemical practical teaching concentrates. This simulation permits the student to obtain realistic results ve ry rapidly simulating the enzyme-catalysed reactions, and so allows many cycles of plan, experiment and interpretation over a short time. Its educational objectives are: (i) to enable the students to answer for themselves some of the fundamental questions of enzyme kinetics, (ii) to give students experience in dealing, step by step, with an initially, quite unknown system; (iii) to provide experience in the interpretation of data.
