Perfect for exploring creative ways to cook - and include veges in yummy stuff! The beetroot was by far the winner - sweetcorn and chickpeas not so much. We included this as part of a module on Nutrition and how to create more fibreful and less sugar treats. The New World Card and scales were just the icing ont he cake ;)

How did the context of baking a cake help engage your students in science and maths learning? The students really practiced their practical and critical thinking skills. The discussion around ingredients, measuring, using questioning skills, as well as using creative skills meant that the kit provided a well rounded cross-curricula unit.

Exceptional kit that really engaged the students critical thinking skills. They had to analysis flavours and gain a better appreciation for veggies. While also having a great time and enjoying learning.

The Unit was interactive, challenging and great to use on line. I am looking forward to also using it in the class now that we have returned, as many children didn't have scales at home and couldn't do it successfully.

The kit was good and got them thinking about veggies being more than just food they didn't want to eat on their plate. The only problem we had was because of covid the time with that and everything else we didn't really do it justice.

The unit was really well thought out and the resources were really great. I needed to do this via home learning was easily shared and students seemed to get the ideas whether or not they themselves were able to make a cake to try.

I had to improvise an online fair test, some kids were not able to use the exact measures and needed supplies, this made it a fair test. Surprisingly enough to the kids, beetroot in baking is pretty good :). Chick peas were not a favourite, I asked kids to taste the food before they combined it, always good to expand taste sensories.
