Description
Classroom programs allow students to focus on teacher-selected areas of interests, topics, TEKS, and connections, and provide a personalized approach that gives students much more direct interaction with the chef instructors than our assembly programs. In this program, students will discover the exciting world of cooking by applying their knowledge of scientific tools and concepts to the recipes Chef will demonstrate, with a focus on the different kinds of motion. Students will work with different kinds of cooking equipment while observing these types of motion and will discuss and evaluate motions effect on of one or all of the following ingredients: water, eggs, cream, chocolate, and sugar, oil, vinegar, fruit purees, cheese or yogurt making, or bread dough. Students will also experiment with different tools for taking temperature and measurements, and they will evaluate how the flow of energy is affected by the motion of objects. Age-appropriate exercises and interactive cooking demonstrations that exemplify the scientific topics of motion. Cooking and motion will allow students to better understand the world around them. There will be activities like crosswords, word-finds, physical games, and relay races will keep students engaged. This program will help students develop life skills that will aid in making healthier choices. Students will love the cooking vocabulary that deals with cooking and motion.
