Correlation between the chemical activity of Amylase and change in temperature ABSTRACT This experiment focuses on how the change of temperature affects the rate of reaction of amylase. In the experiment there were four different environments that each contained 2 test tubes. Each test tube consisted of the same concentration and amount of starch and amylase. After having each test tube placed in these environments for several minutes a droplets of each mixture was placed onto each slot which
