- Learn about alcohol fermentation and the role of enzymes
- Investigate the ethanol production process with enzymatic digestion
- Use scientific methodology to compare yeast fermentation of different concentrations
- Includes prepaid coupon to request living material at your convenience
Grades 9-12. Students apply scientific methodology to investigate enzyme digestion of cellulose and yeast alcohol fermentation in the presence of different concentrations of glucose. They then generate a standard curve to determine the concentration of glucose in solution. After understanding the reactions taking place, students discuss advantages and disadvantages of various sources of ethanol. Kit accommodates a class of 32 students working in 8 groups of 4.
