Are ants picky over their food? Do they have any preference?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine which flavor ants are most attracted to.

How to grow your own mold
Mold is a simple fungus. It gets its food from grains, fruits, vegetables and flesh. Mold begins as a tiny spore that lands on a food source like bread. Spores can be found in the air, on the ground and on you!

Does eating your breakfast help you perform better in school?
The purpose of the present research was to determine whether a positive relationship exists between eating breakfast before school and school performance. Ninety-six psychology students from Loyola University New Orleans took part in the study.

What is fermentation technology and how can this be demonstrated with yeast?
The purpose of this experiment is to observe the results of cellular respiration of yeasts, using grape sugar as a substrate and yielding carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Why do bakers use yeast to bake breads?
One thing you'll learn in this experiment is that yeast does, in fact, produce carbon dioxide gas.

What is baking powder and what is it used for?
Many recipes call simply for baking soda rather than baking powder. Usually these recipes use some kind of liquid acid like buttermilk or yogurt to react with the baking soda to produce the bubbles.

Do different gases expand differently when heated?
The purpose of this experiment was to compare the amount of heat expansion in various gases. The information gained from this experiment will determine what temperature you need to keep your balloons at so that it can have more volume.

What is the effect of ultraviolet light on yeast fermentation?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of ultraviolet light on yeast fermentation. The information gained from this experiment will inform juice makers about a new way to pasteurize juices.

What are fungi?
Fungi have evolved to use a lot of different items for food. Some are decomposers living on dead organic material like leaves. Some fungi cause diseases by using living organisms for food. These fungi infect plants, animals and even other fungi. Athlete’s foot and ringworm are two fungal diseases in humans. The mycorrhizal fungi live as partners with plants. They provide mineral nutrients to the p

What is the rate of fermentation of different fruit juices?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the amount of fermentation of four different fruit juices after adding yeast. The information gained from this experiment may be used by wineries to determine which fruit juice ferments best.
