Is Yeast Alive?
Through two investigations, life science learners determine whether or not yeast is alive. They perform tests for metabolism by providing sugar and observing if gas is produced as a byproduct. They incubate some of the sample for at...
Curated OER
Yeast
Young scholars study the characteristics of yeasts. In this biology lesson, students conduct experiments to measure yeast respiration. They discuss the favorable conditions needed for growing them.
Curated OER
Yeasts and Molds
Students investigate the characteristics and nature of yeast and molds help to explain how these microorganisms affect food production. They experiment with yeast in sourdough in preparing sourdough pancakes.
Curated OER
Cell Energy - Bubbling Yeast
Students identify that yeast are a single celled fungi that are a great model organism for studying respiration in the classroom. They also fill the bulb of a disposable pipet (eyedropper) with yeast, then submerge the pipet in a test...

No Fossils in This Fuel
Yeast and sugar go beyond the pantry and into a fuel experiment. Use these common baking ingredients to assist your class in creating ethanol, a natural fuel. Pupils observe the process and gather information to elaborate on the...
Curated OER
Microorganism Multiplication
Sixth graders conduct experiments with yeast to study characteristics of microorganisms. They, working is small groups, change the variables in the experiments and note the results which they later discuss as a class.
Curated OER
Biofuels Blast!
Students observe yeast fermentation using different energy source. In this chemistry instructional activity, students measure the gas collected in the balloon. They upload their observations on the internet so they can share it with kids...
Curated OER
Ethanol
Young scholars explore how to fuel cars with corn and then test different items to explore the process of fermentation.
Curated OER
Yeasts and Molds: Food Science, Bacteria, Fungi
In this activity pupils will consider the characteristics and nature of yeast and molds in order to help them understand how these microorganisms affect food production.
Curated OER
There are Microbes in my Food!
Sixth graders produce yogurt in the classroom as an example of the use of microbes in food production, and record observations in science journals.

Aerobic/Anaerobic Respiration
Both aerobic and anerobic respiration are introduced in this succinct PowerPoint. The chemical equations for both are included. The last slides give instructions for a lab activity in which pupils use a gas sensor to measure the...
Curated OER
Microorganism Multiplication
Seventh graders complete two experiments to learn about harmful and helpful microorganisms. In this microorganisms lesson, 7th graders read background information about fungi, yeast, and club fungi. Students then complete two experiments...
