This lesson introduces students on the process of root beer
making as part of biotechnology. This will also discuss the
development of biotechnology from the time the Sumerians started
brewing beer in 1750. Root beer making is a fun way to engage the
students in the fermentation process and for them to see a
practical aspect of biotechnology. The students will make their own
root beer, following a general procedure, and will explain the
biotechnology behind it.
