Yogurt Fermentation Lab

 This lab is perfect for home-school students!  Here  is a research article about Microbiology and Yogurt.  This article is a little deep; however, the article suggests making all kinds of yogurts from almond milk, soy, rice, coconut, etc.  This same article describes different tests to use, such as pH or splat tests. Use the idea and then adapt it with an easier lab.  Making Yogurt uses simple equipment.  Here are suggestions for a home-made incubator, such as a styrofoam cooler.  Here are instructions for crockpot yogurt.  I need all kinds of labs because I don’t know how many extra materials I’ll need this year for Biology.  I know a few kids are brilliant.  I want challenging labs for these kids that everyone can enjoy doing.
