Innovating Science STEM Investigations: Is Yeast Alive? (Materials for 15 Groups)

Students will learn the criteria biologists use to determine whether something is alive Students will develop hypotheses to determine whether yeast qualifies as a living thing After forming hypotheses, students will then test them to see if they were correct Materials for 15 groups of students Kit instructions and safety data sheets included This classroom activity kit teaches students the important biological concepts used to determine whether something is alive. It is not always easy to tell when something meets these criteria. Students will form hypotheses as to whether or not yeast is alive, and then conduct experiments to test their hypotheses and draw conclusions. The kit contains enough material for 15 groups of students, and includes instructions and safety data sheets.What's in the box? 40g bottle of yeast 25g bottle of sucrose 200mL bottle of Sabouraud-Dextrose Agar 20 petri dishes 30 test tubes 40 balloons 15 pipettes Instructions and safety data sheets Safety Data SheetDow
