Risk assessments are required for any hazardous activity. In this unit pupils:
- plan and carry out an investigation of yeast
- grow lactobacilli and produce yoghurt
- observe the growth of bacteria and the effect of antiseptic and antibiotics
Model risk assessments used by most employers for normal science activities can be found in the publications listed in the
Teacher's guide. Teachers need to follow these as indicated in the guidance notes for the activities, and consider what modifications are needed for individual classroom situations.
