AIChE K-12 Module, Grades K-2 (4) - Magic Yeast

The process of yeast metabolism is demonstrated to students from kindergarten through 2nd grade, students are expected to be able to understand and explain by their knowledge acquired in this 20-30 minutes module this process, its phases, and its relevance for chemical engineering at the end of this module. This will be done through an easy and accessible experiment that allows participants to learn about the different conditions needed for metabolism as yeast breaks sugar (hexose) down. Additionally, they will be able to identify some of the optimal process conditions and relevance in the global industry.
