Description
The Matter program will immerse students in the exciting world of cooking through recipes and tools used in science. Students will learn about the phases of matter used in cooking, and the changes that come with it. We’ll look at the characteristics of different foods and materials found in our kitchens. Of course, great cooking demonstrations will be available for students to see the science that happens outside the classroom. From melting chocolate to making butter, the program will help the students visualize the science around them. We’ll also discuss the use of conduction, convection, and radiation cooking, along with the effects of temperature on matter. Through activities that will explain atoms, electrons, and protons, students will also gain an understanding of the chemical and physical components of the world. This program is a combination of lessons, visuals, demonstrations videos, and recipes that students can choose to make at home.

Students Will
  • Literacy Connection: The Science Chef, D'Amico and Drummond, ISBN 0-471-11779-X.
  • Observe properties of matter and changes through the cooking process.
  • Partake of a cooking demonstration where physical properties of ingredients are identified and the state of matter is transformed into other forms through heating and cooling (Solid, Liquid, Gas).
  • Measure using fractions, weight, size, volume, and temperature through using different tools which are brought on-sight.
  • Differentiate between different forms of matter using the five senses.
  • Solidify their understanding of changes in states of matter through storytelling and visuals and classify matter into categories: size, density, texture, and color.
  • Understand how movement affects matter - pushing, pulling, rolling, spinning whether its a straight line or a curve, etc and how this can be seen while cooking.
