KIDS COOKING WITH CALCULATIONS AND CHEMISTRY OR KC³ is an Online Collaborative Mentoring Project being conducted by the Knox Northwest Cluster of Schools as part of the Australian Government Quality Teacher Project with boys education being a focus.  

KC3 is a cross curricular and cross age project bringing together students, teachers, leaders and experts using information communication technology such as videoconferencing and email, to form an engaging online learning community.  Food and cookery are being used by participants separated by great distances to investigate mathematics, science and ICT principles and concepts.

During 2004 participants will work with online experts to create recipes that tantalise the taste buds, motivate the mathematicians & stimulate the scientists.  Features of the project include:

• KC³ Recipe Cookbook - Classes from Years Prep to 10 will create, cook and add recipes ideas to the online cookbook that showcases maths, science & thinking curriculum.

• KC³ Online Collaborative Cooking Project will bring together groups of students from distant locations in a virtual restaurant environment.

• Students will become the stars of a new cooking show concept in the 'KC³ Kids Cooking For TV' project.

The Knox Northwest cluster made up of Bayswater Primary, Bayswater West Primary, Boronia West Primary and Bayswater Secondary College together with Ocean Grove Primary are working together to create sustained educational projects that challenge, involve and stimulate participants in the learning process.
