Root Beer Making - The lab

Part of Lesson Plan: Root Beer Making

Activity Overview / Details

Tell them to make sure that everything is clean, even their lab table, since they are working with food. Tell the lab groups to drink or throw away around 100 mL of the water in their bottle to give room for the sugar, root beer concentrate and yeast that they will put in the bottle. They also have to make sure that there is enough space in the bottle because of the carbon dioxide that will form as soon as fermentation starts. When they are done, tell them to write describe the solution that they just made in terms of color, smell or even taste, if they want to.
