Period 3–
Learning Objective:
To explain how bacteria and yeasts are used to produce foods for human consumption
Learning Activities:
1. Science Friday- Forecasting Avalanches
Science Journal- How fast can an avalanche travel? How long do you have to live under the snow? From what would you die? Because snow is a good insulator, what happens to the temperatures within a snow profile? What makes a slab of snow slide? For what is the big air gun used?
