This yeast science experiment for kids is the perfect addition to your science planning. Before you show your students this experiment, discuss the question, ‘What do living things need to grow?’. Discuss how living things need water and food. This science experiment is going to show what happens to yeast when you give them some food. The food of choice is going to be sugar! When you mix yeast with water and sugar, the organism of yeast will ‘burp’ and release carbon dioxide. But what happens if you change the amount of food you give the yeast? Will it produce more carbon dioxide?
