We were able to place these on a heater in my classroom to get the yeast to respirate. https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/img_20180308_164554_583.jpgIMG_20180308_164554_583https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/img_20180226_153333_581.jpgIMG_20180226_153333_581Delicious treats made with yeast made by my students!2020-08-06T15:56:18+00:00monthlyhttps://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/2020/07/14/10-demos-for-anatomy/https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20180413_162601_533.jpgIMG_20180413_162601_533https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20180122_153450_966.jpgIMG_20180122_153450_966https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20180523_151223.jpg20180523_151223https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/screenshot_20200714-112104_instagram.jpgScreenshot_20200714-112104_Instagram2020-07-14T15:35:19+00:00monthlyhttps://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/2020/07/07/seven-new-things-i-did-in-the-2019-2020-school-year/https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/3ubddj.jpg3ubddjSource: imgfliphttps://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20200514_164206_552.jpgIMG_20200514_164206_552You can use pineapple (which contains an enzyme called bromelain) to show how enzymes digest protein, like the collagen in gelatin. https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20200109_190402_308.jpgIMG_20200109_190402_308https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20200108_163903_379.jpgIMG_20200108_163903_379https://teachingscienceirl.science.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/img_20190909_180623_304.jpgIMG_20190909_180623_304For this exercise in retrieval practice, I had students list the levels of organization in the human body from memory (they did this in green pen).
