As a reward for finishing a chemistry unit, students in LPMS teacher Nathan Baker’s science classes worked together to bake a variety of dishes. The students applied measurements, chemical mixtures and experienced thermodynamic transformations through the application of heat to these mixtures.
Some of the items that they created were bacon-wrapped cinnamon rolls, bacon-infused waffles with bacon syrup, chocolate cupcakes with homemade peanut butter icing with a chocolate drizzle and a double-decker carrot cake with homemade cream cheese icing.
The students used the kitchen equipment at the school but brought ingredients and other items that were needed to complete the assignment. They were graded on the video that they created while cooking and were judged on the taste of their dish.
