Hi,
Welcome to the Ask an Expert forums. It sounds as though your instructions are to add lactase (the enzyme) to lactose (sugar) and then test for the presence of the reaction products (glucose and galactose).
We have a project dealing with this reaction here:

There is an article describing the reaction here:

I hope that helps. Let us know what else we can do to clarify things.
