- Learned about the different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) through observing the changes in food texture and consistency during cooking
- Understood the concept of heat transfer and how it affects the cooking process
- Learned about food safety and hygiene practices in the kitchen
- Explored the concept of nutrition and how different foods provide different nutrients for the body
Continued development can include exploring different cuisines and cultures, experimenting with different cooking techniques, and learning about the science behind baking and pastry making. Encourage the child to ask questions and make observations during the cooking process to further their understanding of science concepts.
