Procedure (room temp.)
1. Create a 20% glucose
solution.
However, after filling the container with tap water add a fair amount of ice
and wait until the desired temperature is reached (do this by checking
the thermometer).
However, instead of using the container with the test tube rack, place a
large beaker of water onto a hot plate and begin to heat up the
water until the desired temperature is reached.
Throughout the testing attempt to maintain this temperature by turning
up or turning off the hot plate. Place the five test tubes containing
the yeast and glucose solution directly into the beaker on the hot
plate.
Variables
Independent: The temperature of the water.
