Yeast Experiment : Balloon Final Pictures
The photos below were taken on Friday afternoon, around 4 PM.
These are all the experimental setups.
Some bottles and balloons started fizzing, so those bottles were put into the sink.
(Look at the back of some of the photos; you will see the sink.)

How We See Colors
When reviewing your Variable Worksheet homework, I briefly mentioned some of the physics behind color.
If you are interested in tinkering with "the primary colors of light," check out this simulation:
