Warmup
New Journal Entry: Cheese Lab Take 1
Considering what we know about how cheese is made, what variables could we test to answer the question, "What is the best way to make cheese?" How would we measure what is "best?"

Pre-Lab
Underneath the warmup, create a table with 2 columns and 2 rows as shown below.

Procedures	Observations

Copy the procedure from the cheese lab protocol and paste it under "Procedures" in your table.

Read through the procedure and consider what your independent and dependent variables are. With your table groups come up with a research question with the format "What is the effect of [independent variable] on [dependent variable(s)]? 

Cheese Lab Day 1

After I instruct you on how to use the equipment, follow the lab protocol for day 1 to prepare your cheese samples. Each scholar will prepare 2 samples: 1 with an assigned curdling agent and 1 negative control.
