| | The Effects of Ultra-Violet Light on Yeast |
 | | This lesson plan is a two-three week inquiry based lab project in which students will work cooperatively to learn culturing techniques (how to grow yeast), design and conduct an experiment using yeast and UV light, and present their results to their peers. |
 | | A UV light source: a goggle sterilizer, an electrophoresis gel box, a portable UV light, and the sun are suitable sources. |
 | | They should also try to come up with UV light sources, exposure times, what data they will need to collect, etc. I would have students work in groups of three or four on this project. |
