- Math:
- Counting and measuring ingredients
- Understanding fractions when following a recipe
- Estimating and measuring time for dough to rise
- Dividing the dough into equal portions
- Science:
- Observing the process of yeast activation
- Understanding the role of yeast in fermentation
- Recognizing the effects of heat on yeast

Tip for continued development: Encourage the child to experiment with different recipes using yeast, such as making bread or pizza dough from scratch. They can explore how different ingredients or variations in measurements affect the final outcome. Additionally, they can research and learn more about the science behind yeast fermentation and how it is used in various food products.
