Pengantar

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

The aim of this stage is to provide students with a foundational understanding of the importance of microorganisms in food production while also linking these practices to potential career paths in the food industry.

Keingintahuan dan Koneksi Pasar

Did you know that yeast, a type of fungus, is critical for making bread? It produces carbon dioxide during fermentation, which makes the dough rise. In today's food industry, fermentation is a common practice in many sectors, from local bakeries to large breweries, where yeast plays a key role in beer production.

Kontekstualisasi

Microorganisms are involved in various aspects of our lives, especially in food production. They are essential in fermentation, a technique humans have utilized for thousands of years to create products like bread, cheese, and yogurt. Many of the foods we enjoy daily wouldn't be possible without these tiny organisms.

Kegiatan Awal

Show a short video (3-5 minutes) about the process of making bread, emphasizing the critical function of yeast in fermentation. After the video, pose a thought-provoking question to the students: 'What do you think breakfast would be like if we didn't have bread?'

Pengembangan

Durasi: (40 - 50 minutes)

This stage is designed to provide a practical, interactive experience that allows students to directly see how microorganisms play a role in food production. Through the fermentation experiment, students will develop their observational and recording skills and connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, deepening their understanding of the subject.

Topik

1. What are microorganisms?

2. Types of microorganisms used in food production

3. Understanding the fermentation process

4. Real-world applications of fermentation in the food industry

Pemikiran tentang Subjek

Encourage students to reflect on how microorganisms, though invisible to us, greatly affect our everyday diets and the food industry. Ask them to envision life without staples like bread, yogurt, and cheese, and urge them to appreciate the role of science and biotechnology in food production.

Tantangan Kecil

Yeast Fermentation Experiment

Students will engage in a hands-on experiment to observe the fermentation process using simple ingredients to make the bread dough rise.

1. Divide the students into small groups (3-4 students each).

2. Distribute necessary materials: all-purpose flour, warm water, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.

3. Guide students to follow these steps:

4. 1. Mix 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 packet of active dry yeast in a bowl.

5. 2. Add 1/2 cup of warm water and mix until a smooth dough forms.

6. 3. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

7. 4. After resting, observe and record the dough's rise.

8. 5. Walk around to assist groups, ask questions, and encourage keen observation.

9. 6. After the experiment, have groups share their observations and discuss what they learned about fermentation.

To practically demonstrate the fermentation process and show how microorganisms contribute to food production while fostering observational and recording skills.

**Durasi: (25 - 30 minutes)

Latihan Evaluasi

1. Describe in your own words what fermentation is and how it happens.

2. Name three foods that are produced through fermentation.

3. Draw and explain the fermentation process you observed in the experiment.
