• As a living thing, what helps the yeast best grow & thrive?

Explanation: (for younger students)

• Yeast are tiny little 1 celled organisms (too small to see with your eyes). They are able to shut down if they don’t have what they need, but they activate when they are given what they need.

Results: Take a picture of your table and submit it to your teacher on SeeSaw!

Reflection: What did you learn?
