PMS's Pet Yeast Experiment

(1/22): Today, students in gifted class conducted a food science experiment as part of their food truck unit. Students combined water, sugar, and yeast to grow a yeast “pet.” To watch their dormant yeast become active, students had to ensure the water temperature created a hospitable environment for the yeast and that they added enough sugar to give the yeast energy to grow. They were also able to use a jeweler’s loupe to see both the dormant yeast and the carbon dioxide bubbles the active yeast produced in an up close way!
