KIDS COOKING WITH CALCULATIONS AND CHEMISTRY KC3 Reflection Section

COOKING WITH MATHS

 

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

 

 

  • Use recipe to work ingredients.

  • work out cost per ingredient.

  • we measured in grams, cups, quantities (eggs), volumes.

  • double the quantities and costs

  • subtraction of amount from $10.00

 

COOKING WITH SCIENCE

 

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

  • Mixing flour, butter, eggs.

  • Dissolving icing sugar in hot water.

  • Changes in substances during cooking. (Endothermatic  reaction)

  • Changes during cooling. The cake got firmer, icing firmed as it cooled.

  • The cake rose as it cooked.

  • Use of detergent to change the surface tension as it cleans.
