Topic: Micro-organisms – Activity: The Science Behind Rising Dough
Grade 8 turned into a science-meets-kitchen adventure! Students stepped into the shoes of mini chefs and experimented with the power of microorganisms. With a simple mix of yeast, flour, sugar, and warm water, they prepared a magical concoction in bottles—capped off with balloons on top.
The excitement bubbled (literally!) when those balloons began to inflate right before their eyes. The secret? Fermentation! The hardworking yeast feasted on sugar and released carbon dioxide, causing the dough—and the balloons—to rise.
This fun experiment showed how a tiny organism makes a big difference in everyday life, from soft bread loaves to fluffy pizza bases. Science never tasted so good—it was a fizzy, fluffy, fabulous experience!
