5E Lesson plans developed by participants after a day exploring Agricultural and Environment Engineering

 || Introduce Fermentation by discussing history of bread and importance of yeast. || Biofuel Production Activity; Biofuel PPT; Energy of Biofuels Video || Students will learn about the process of fermentation and how it relates to biofuels as an alternative source of energy. ||
 * ===**5E Component**=== || ===**Link to Resource**=== || ===**Brief Description of Resource**=== ||
 * Engage || Bread Video;
 * Explore || Fermentation Activity || Students explore the idea of fermentation using yeast and a food source. They will complete a short exploratory lab that will allow them to see how much CO2 is created comparing sugar and cornstarch. ||
 * Explain || How Ethanol is Made Video;
 * Elaborate || Maximizing Production of Ethanol || Students will complete an extension of the Fermentation in a Bag lab completed earlier in this unit. Using the same materials while considering additional variables, they will try to experimentally discover the most effective fermentation method. Then, the class will participate in a large group discussion to wrap up. ||
 * Evaluate || Mini-Fermenter Design || For the evaluation phase of the lesson plan we will use a modified version of the mini-fermenter activity. ||
