Description
Enzyme Eaters Science Project Kit – Discover the Power of Enzymes! 🧪🧼
Explore how enzymes make detergents work harder and stains disappear.
Ever wondered why some laundry detergents seem to work better than others? The Enzyme Eaters Science Project Kit puts students in the scientist’s seat, investigating the role of enzymes in cleaning. Using gelatin and petri dishes, they can test detergents with and without enzymes to see which one really tackles stains. Science becomes visible, hands-on, and surprisingly fun!
This experiment is perfect as a 2–3 day project or can be stretched into a 9-week investigation with the included prompts, worksheets, and digital curriculum guide.

• Test detergents with and without enzymes on gelatin “stains”
• Observe and record how enzymes break down proteins
• Compare results and graph effectiveness
• Formulate hypotheses, identify variables, and analyze findings
• Create a science report or paper using provided templates
Kit Includes
• Full-color Instruction Manual
