Fermentation Lab: The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Fermentation

Description

This Fermentation Lab is designed for the Cellular Respiration chapter in high school Biology. Your students will gain valuable experience using laboratory equipment and applying proper lab procedures as they see science concepts in action.

In Part 1, students will indirectly observe a yeast solution changing from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration.

In Part 2, they will set up two experimental groups and a control group under different temperature conditions and compare the rates of fermentation between these groups.
