Yeast Fermentation Lab!

Scientists,


Well done today with the lab despite the fact that we did not see the results as quickly as we might have thought.  Some of your labs actually came out quite well!  Unfortunately you were all out the door and starting your weekend fun before you could see it!!

Good science means that we are always "tinkering and experimenting" for ways to get results with our labs.  Why do you thi nk we saw faster results when we added heat and more yeast to the beakers?  We can explore this more on Monday!


For those of you who would like to get a head start on the Post Lab Analysis here is an image of what your beakers looked like before the fermentation took place and what they looked like after:

Click on the images to enlarge them, but from left to right it is the water, the Powerade, the fruit punch, and the Hi-C.

Enjoy the weekend and be sure to email Mr. Greg with any questions you might have about the lab or the comics!
