🎯 WALT & Planning

We Are Learning To:

• Apply our understanding of chemical reactions in a real-world kitchen context
• Identify and explain types of chemical reactions in everyday cooking
• Work collaboratively to design a dish demonstrating chemical reactions

1. What dish will your group prepare?

2. Which type of chemical reaction will you demonstrate? (Tick one)

Acid-base reaction

Caramelisation

Fermentation

Combustion

Other: ________________

3. List your main ingredients and explain which ones are involved in the chemical reaction:

🔬 Observations & Results

4. What changes did you observe during your chemical reaction? (Check all that apply)

Colour change

Temperature change

Gas production (bubbling/rising)

Texture change

Smell change

5. Describe what happened during your chemical reaction in scientific terms:

6. How did the chemical reaction improve your dish's properties?

Texture: _________________________________

💭 Reflection & Extension

7. Rate your group's success in demonstrating kitchen chemistry:

Excellent - Clear reaction with great results

Good - Reaction occurred with some success

Satisfactory - Reaction happened but results unclear

Needs improvement - Reaction didn't work as expected

8. What would you change if you repeated this experiment? Why?

9. Extension Challenge: Suggest how you could modify your recipe to control or optimise the chemical reaction (e.g., change temperature, timing, ingredient ratios):
