What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? With this awesome experience I'm sure the children will be curious to experiment further egplain flour vs self-raising flour or try different kinds of sugar eg maple syrup or honey or other natural sweeteners. Thank you school kit and Nestle for Healthier

How did the context of baking a cake help engage your students in science and maths learning? Realising that sugar could be substituted with other ingredients that have a sugar content. The measurement component alongside the chemical reactions when combining certain ingredients. Learning how each component helps the cake form in a particular way.

“Unfortunately, I left getting to do this kit until late this term and could only manage a few children getting the chance to carry out the chemistry of baking. But oh how those children totally engaged with swapping out sugar content for a vege/or fruit component. They were keen to try a lot of different ideas and I'm sure they will now they have the 60/60/60/60 cemented in their brain. Filling out the reviews to compare their results was fun and I'm sure they didn't even realise they were learning.”

“This kit was fun and interesting to do. The children worked collaboratively to design, measure ingredients, make, eat and review the cakes. After the first session they had interesting conversations about the chemistry and flavour of their cakes and were keen to explore more.”

“Well resourced with a good selection. It took a bit to organise and figure out the logistics to complete it. I was able to tie it in with our science fair as a whole class example experiment. I'll try to do it again next year with a few of my own tweaks.”

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? We have Garden to Table in our school, so the students have been very interested in finding out how they can use the vegetables that they grow in the garden in less traditional recipes, specifically baking.

How did the context of baking a cake help engage your students in science and maths learning? They were fascinated by chemical reactions and realising that chemistry is constantly happening around them. With a specific recipe my students were very thorough in their measurements as they had a few issues around being exact.

“My class absolutely loved this kit! We have had a really hectic term (like everyone does in Term 4) but they always made sure that we came back to our Vege Cake Kit. My students loved being able to test the different recipes that they came up with and that they were able to try things out rather than just having to use a recipe from a cookbook like they normally do. And some of them realised that maybe their experiments may have been replacing the ingredients of a cake, but was it actually a cake!?!”

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? You could use this method for many things the kids eat to think about healthy eating - burgers / shakes / anything at all. You could also incorporate this into what they choose to grow in their school vege garden. Lots of inspiration for next year.

How did the context of baking a cake help engage your students in science and maths learning? They are pretty engaged in general, but were incredibly engaged with this particular unit. They love baking, and it was awesome to see the groups critique each thing they made and make adjustments.

“Loved this Kit. It is my favourite one so far. So much maths we were able to incorporate, and science and health as well. The children were really thoughtful in their substitutions, reading labels, lots of discussion and comments such as 'this is sweet, so has sugar in it, so we could substitute this for some of the sugar', and 'avocado is really fatty, we could swap out some of the butter'. Loved the thinking and collaboration that went into it. And best of all, it was fun and highly engaging. Loved it.”
