THE SCIENCE BEHIND KOMBUCHA [fermentation, symbiosis, and types of microbes; science of food]

Explore the science behind how kombucha is made as we make our first batch.
-
This video has supplementary educational resources that can be found at www.bitescized.org/ . In these resources, students will learn about different types of #microbes and how they work together in a #symbiotic relationship and two-step #fermentation process in kombucha.
