Today we did an experiment with yeast because we are learning about Fungi, and yeast is a type of fungi. We filled up four bottles with water of different temperatures.. We added yeast and sugar, next we stuck four balloons on top of the bottles. We waited to see which bottle would create the most gas and blow up the balloon.
The bottle with water of 32 degrees, worked the best. In my hypotheses, I guessed 51 degrees would work the best.
Hi Ariki
ReplyDeleteI am pleased you found the experiment interesting. We will know exactly what temperature to use when we make pizza next week in the Cooking room.
Did you know that yeast was a fungus before we started this experiment?
Was your hypothesis correct?
