Yeast-helps bread to rise/wine & beer
Other micro-o=Blue Cheese =yogurt=quicker digestive transist
Read p. 12-13. Tell ch. That we will be investigating in which conditions yeast will grow the best.
Have ch. Complete Expt sht first- discussing how to ensure for a fair test. /

WALA helpful micro-o

(WA investigating in which conditions yeast will grow the best)
Ch. To carry out expt.
CONTROL- dough with no yeast=bread doesn’t rise w/o yeast

(Action slow- 15-21 C)
(Optimum- 32-38 C)
(slows->40 C)
(dead-58 C) / Discuss ch.s results/observatns
What from our results show that Yeast like all micro-o are living? Because it needs sugar and warmth to grow. / Group activities-mixed abilities supporting one another
