Baking

Physical Education

• Improved hand-eye coordination through the precise measurements and mixing of ingredients.
• Enhanced fine motor skills from tasks such as rolling dough, piping icing, and shaping cookies.
• Increased understanding of nutrition and healthy eating habits by learning to balance ingredients and substitute healthier options when baking.
• Developed teamwork and cooperation skills when working with others in the kitchen to complete a recipe.

For continued development, encourage the student to experiment with creating their own recipes or adjusting existing ones to make them healthier. They can also explore the science behind baking by learning about chemical reactions, temperature control, and ingredient functionalities. Additionally, they can practice time management and organizational skills by planning and executing a baking schedule for multiple items.
