Fermentation Project: Exploring Ethanol Production

In this project, we engage in hands-on experimentation to simulate the production of ethanol, a process used in various industries, including biofuel production and beverage manufacturing. By exploring the fermentation of different fruit juice solutions, students connect their learning of organic chemistry to real-world applications in sustainable energy and food production.

This project integrated concepts from biology, chemistry, biochemistry and environmental science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of ethanol production. Ethanol is not just a famous beverage!

By exploring the connections between science disciplines, students recognize the holistic approach required in addressing real-world challenges. This project empowers students to take ownership of their learning and explore their individual interests within the broader context of ethanol production.
