Looking Back:
My experiment didn’t turn out how I wanted it to be. When I first open it after 4 days it had not carbonated at all, So what I did is I put a little more yeast and let it sit for 5 days more and after opening that it got so carbonated it exploded. After it finished exploding it had a very interesting smell. When I first made it, It had an odd brown color but after letting it sit for 5 days the color got darker.
Safety Hazard:
Make sure you wear goggles when opening the container in case it blows up in your face.
Clean Up:
If anything gets on the table we will wipe it down.
Documentation:
We will take videos of the entire process.
Science:
Yeast, like humans, obtain energy from breaking down sugar molecules. This requires oxygen, and is known as aerobic respiration. If there is no oxygen around, humans will die. Yeast however, have a metabolic trick that allows them to survive: in the absence of oxygen, yeast can derive energy from sugar in a process known as anaerobic respiration, or fermentation. The two byproducts of yeast fermentation are ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide (fizzy bubbles).
Looking inward:
I didn’t get the results I wanted to but I got a lot out of it. The result I wanted was to be able for it to carbonate and be able to drink it, The result I got was it blew up and rotted. When I redo this project I now know that you have to be careful with how much yeast you put in it and not let it sit longer than a week.
I think I performed well in this project since I was the only one that did it. In this project I had good time management skills and got it done when in the time I had planned.
Takeaways:
Some takeaways I have gotten from this is experiment is how to make soda, how different chemical reactions. The chemical reaction I had happen was the yeast carbonated the soda to much and the bottle exploded when I opened it
