Let’s hope it doesn’t get too hot in the kitchen as you investigate and explore the gourmet side to chemistry. Take an enquiry based approach to the science of baking bread and cakes, and explore the weird and wonderful world of eggs!
Science Objectives

Working Scientifically
- Plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary.
- Record results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams and labels.
- Take measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate.
- Use test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests.
- Report and present findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of trust in results, in written forms.
