Discuss about fermentation,the two processes (lactic and alcoholic) and what happens during the process of alcoholic fermentation and what is converted.

Introduction: I want you all to go over what Fermentation is (since everyone did the alcoholic fermentation lab). Make sure to explain what fermentation is, that’s it’s aerobic (explain what aerobic is) and what the two processes are (lactic and alcoholic). Make sure to talk more about alcoholic fermentation in general because it’s what you did your experiment on. Talk about what happens during the process of alcoholic fermentation and what is converted (i.e. explain that glucose is converted to things such as acids and gases, primarily carbon dioxide since that’s what we’re using to measure). Then I would like you to talk about the different variable that could affect the rate of alcoholic fermentation and add some detail about the variable you studied (temperature, spice, etc.) This is a good place in the report to bring in some outside sources and cite their data and research to help support your hypothesis/explain why you’re looking at this variable. Finally state your hypothesis.

Materials and Methods: Explain in paragraph form what you did step by step. Like the rest of report, this section must be in past tense. Don’t forget to state the measurements you took and the tools you used.

Results: should be a table with the title and “Table 1:…) The table should include the tube number, the variable changed (different temperature, different spice, etc.) and then the rate which was what you recorded. If there was no change just write 0.

Discussion: Describe and explain your results. Make sure to refer to your table and state the numbers when referring to data. When explaining your results, use the background data (could be studies you cited in your introduction or new studies) to help explain your results, or if you recorded a 0 and no change, explain what you should have seen in your results. What the results would have meant in terms of theories. Then I want you to talk about if the results supported your hypothesis or not and what may have gone wrong to skew the results if you saw no change in your data.
