Yeast Balloon
Grade Level: Middle School
Why is bread usually soft and airy? Experiment to see how yeast uses cellular respiration and is affected by sugar!
Candy Chromatography
Grade Level: Elementary School
Are candies like M&Ms© and Skittles© coated with the same dye? Use paper chromatography to separate the dyes and determine if they are the same and if a dye is made of a mixture of dyes!
Balloon Rocket
Grade Level: High School
Explore Newton’s Second Law of Motion and see it in action! Build a rocket out of a balloon and straw to see how mass affects the acceleration of an object!
Exercise Lab
Grade Level: High School
This activity will address how exercise affects the rate of cellular respiration using three different indicators: breathing rate, heart rate, and carbon dioxide production.
Anaerobic Respiration Lab
Grade Level: High School
In this experiment, students investigate the effect of sugar concentration on yeast’s anaerobic respiration rate.
