Use spinach and yeast to explore photosynthesis and cellular respiration - the most essential biological processes on Earth!About this Event
In this lab session, participants will dive into the two most essential biological processes that fuel life on Earth: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Using spinach leaves and baker’s yeast, participants will observe how organisms capture and release energy—through floating leaf disks and bubbling balloons!
Participants will:
- Investigate how plants use sunlight to produce oxygen and glucose;
- Observe oxygen production in spinach leaves through floating leaf disks;
- Explore how yeast breaks down sugar to release energy and carbon dioxide;
- Measure gas production as evidence of cellular respiration.
Ages 13-18, no adult chaperone required.
