Viva Preparation

You will be required to book an appointment for a review of your understanding of the Science
concepts covered in the Business of Bubbles project. Ms. Smith, Mr. Folland and Mr Swann will be
available at various times through the week.
These ideas are covered in the Podcasts. You may bring notes or dot points to help with your
discussion

It is important that you observe, question and make meaning to understand the
science of fermentation. Discuss with others to reinforce your understanding.
Low C level
Basic understanding of fermentation.
Basic understanding of the elements of the periodic table (first ten).
Identify the molecule produced as a result of fermentation.
