Description	Students act as environmental engineers involved with the clean up of a toxic spill and use the bioremediation as the process to select which bacteria they will use to eat up the pollutant spilled. Students learn about the needs of living things by setting up an experiment with yeast. In this activity, students act as environmental engineers involved with the clean up of a toxic spill. Using bioremediation as the process, students select which bacteria they will use to eat up the pollutant spilled. Students learn how engineers use bioremediation to make organism degrade harmful chemicals. Engineers must make sure bacteria have everything they need to live and degrade contaminants for bioremediation to happen. Students learn about the needs of living things by setting up an experiment with yeast. The scientific method is reinforced as students must design the experiment themselves making sure they include a control and complete parts of a formal lab report.
