What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Promoted healthy eating, to view what is actually in some of our food. To consider creating food with less sugar or substituting other ingredients for sugar. To discover further chemical and physical processes and how they work and react.

How did the context of baking a cake help engage your students in science and maths learning? They all loved the hands on element and were able to identify and use units of weights successfully. They also gained understanding of physical and chemical changes.

An excellent resource with all that we needed to discover about sugar in foods and to create different recipes and test them for their qualities.

I was so excited to get the package and all the products. So Year 7 and 8 students found it hard to follow the format of the recipe. I only have the students for a 2 hour block over a 4 week period. I modified the program a bit . i found similar recipes for fruit and vege muffins and then we used the products to make them. we then swapped some muffins between groups and reflected on the taste and shape and colour.

Students were slightly skeptical at the start but was impressed with how engaged they got. Was very interesting as they came up with ideas that they could trial as ingredients....lots of conversations about this.
