Yeast Experiment

In this experiment, we were asked to experiment about how yeast reproduce.

We were asked to bring 2 balloons, 2 packs of yeast, and sugar.

First, we pour hot water to a beaker. Then, we put in the sugar to the hot water. After that, we put the yeast to the beaker and immediately put the balloon over it. This was for beaker A. The second one was the same, but with no sugar.

We then see which balloon grew big faster. And we inferred that for yeast/cells to grow and reproduce, it needs a source of energy and in this experiment, the source of energy was the sugar.

Science AA: Talk Show

Our Science Alternative Assessment was about the unit : Caring for ourselves and others. We were asked to make a talk show about drug, alcohol, tobacco or how to protect for ourselves from abuse.
Our group (Justin, Michael.T, Jennifer, Me) talked about drug, tobacco, and alcohol abuse.

Justin was the host of the talk show
Jennifer and Michael are the guests
I (Nadeen) was the one who wrote the script

I think we would've done better if we didn't wait until last minute. But, we actually did it (:p).
We were supposed to make a PowerPoint Presentation as well, but we didn't make it because it was a last minute preparation.
