Baked bread

Science

• The student learned about the chemical reactions that occur during the bread-making process, as they combined yeast with warm water and observed the dough rising due to the release of carbon dioxide gas.
• They gained an understanding of the role of ingredients such as flour, yeast, and salt in creating the structure and texture of bread, as they mixed and kneaded the dough.
• Through the baking process, they learned about heat transfer and the transformation of the dough into a solid and edible product, thus comprehending the concept of physical change in matter.

Encourage the student to explore the science of fermentation by trying new bread recipes that use different types of yeast or experimenting with the temperature and humidity levels during the bread-making process to observe how they affect the rising and texture of the bread.
