Yeast

The girls have been helping me make bread. Today it was Olivia's turn to help.

When making the bread, the girls and I talked a bit about the ingredients and where they came from. The girls think yeast is pretty amazing.

Here we read a bit about the history of yeast: http://www.breadworld.com/Science.aspx

And here we found some neat yeast experiments to try: http://www.lesaffreyeastcorp.com/SoY/students.html

And here's instructions on how to make a yeast-air balloon: http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/bread/activity-yeast.html

We'll have to try some of them!!
