Add teaspoon sugar to the S bottle and teaspoon flour to the F bottle. 3.) Add 1 packet of dry yeast to each bottle and gently swirl the contents to mix them a bit 4.) Place a balloon over the top of each bottle and observe what happens. developed by Caryn Dingman July 2015 3
Investigation 2 Part 1B 1.) In your Science Notebooks make a drawing of each bottle. Label your drawings to make them clear. 2.) Describe what happened to both bottles. developed by Caryn Dingman July 2015 4
Investigation 2 Let s answer the Focus Question: What does yeast need to break its dormancy? Sugar is what yeast needs to wake it up or break its dormancy.
