KIDS COOKING WITH CALCULATIONS AND CHEMISTRY KC3 Reflection Section

COOKING WITH MATHS

 

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

 

 

We were interested in finding out the difference between the weight of the contents of the baby corn in the before and after the water had been drained.  This involved us weighing the tin before and after to find out the difference.

Weighing vegetables after peeling was another interesting experiment because to determine how much of the vegetable we pay for and what we actually eat.

Estimating and timing how long it took to prepare the dish was also a useful exercise for Middle Years students.

 

COOKING WITH SCIENCE

 

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

Expansion of food in relation to water cooked in.  Our group did a before and after measurement of the food to determine how much absorption took place during the cooking process.

 

THINKING CURRICULUM

What did our group find out about the Thinking Curriculum especially Habits of Mind?

ONLINE TEAM WORK

What did we learn about computer technology, group work, working online with partners?
  1. Questioning and Posing Problems:            Effective problems solvers know how to ask questions to fill in another context.  Because we knew what we wanted to find out in terms of the maths and science during the cooking activity we were able to work out what we would examine and we also had the questions in place before we started cooking.
