From my preliminary work I found out that I should equilibrate my yeast -glucose solution so that the results will be fair. I found out that the best way to do this was to place a boiling tube, filled with the suspension up to half way, into the water bath at the desired temperature. I will leave this for 5 minutes to let the suspension adjust to the temperature that it will be tested at. Thus, the test will be as fair as possible. I also discovered that to make the concentration of the yeast suspension, after dilution, accurate I needed to stir the suspension for 1 minute to thoroughly mix the suspension.
