Yeast Balloon Experiment Worksheet
What you do (Yeast is alive): 1. Pour warm (not hot) water into the bottle — an adult checks it. 2. Add the yeast and the sugar and swirl gently. 3. Stretch the balloon over the bottle’s mouth. 4. Wait 30 minutes, measure the balloon, then pour the mixture away and wash up.
