- Decomposing Banana experiment-"How does yeast affect bananas"?
- Since yeast is a decomposer, students put yeast on a slice of banana and made observations each day.
- Some observations included:
- "It's getting smaller."
- "It's turning brown."
- "The one without yeast is wet."
- Students drew conclusions about which banana showed more changes during the week and the cause of the changes.
- For further investigation we wondered what would happen if we put flour, sugar or baking soda on a banana. We also wondered what would happen if we put yeast on other produce like watermelon.
