  • Measurement and estimation of quantities

  • Division of quantity between people

  • Conversion of quantities - mass and volume

  • Time - working within time constraints and cooking times

COOKING WITH SCIENCE

 

What did you learn about maths and what principle did you  investigate? 

  • Changes in state (solid to liquid)

  • Viscosity

  • Combining ingredients (chemistry)

  • Investigating heat radiation (food coverings)

  • Use of Data Logging equipment to monitor temperature changes

  • Properties of ingredients
