    Hannah Ormond and Julia Tang designed an experiment to test if different liquids would affect the rate at which yeast produces carbon dioxide, as measured by balloon inflation. They hypothesized that root beer would produce the most carbon dioxide due to its higher sugar content. The experiment involved adding yeast to water, tea, milk, apple juice, and non-carbonated root beer in separate bottles with attached balloons. Balloon circumference was measured every 15 minutes for 2 hours. The results would show whether the data supports the hypothesis that root beer would produce the most carbon dioxide as indicated by the biggest balloon.
