Your request reminded me of an excercise we did in early high school (a long
time ago) I don't remember all the details, but it had a satisfactory
impression, perhaps you can reinvent it.
I think it used dialysis tubing, dissolved starch (or sucrose) and a (starch?)
indicator (iodine?). I remember a "sausage" of the dialysis tubing, filled with
a test liquid, immersed in a clear jar of another liquid, perhaps with the
indicator. Some of the test liquids (starch?) sat inert in the liquid, while
others (with invertase?) showed a slow cascade of colour, as the (sugar?)
diffused through (into the indicator?). I remember I got a particularly good
result by adding honey.
Good luck
