A kitchen scene captures two young boys engaged in a baking or cooking activity. One blonde-haired boy is standing at the kitchen counter, wearing a gray hoodie and looking intently at something on the counter in front of him. The other boy, with shorter lighter hair, is standing next to him and appears to be observing or assisting. On the counter, there is a baking tray or sheet pan with what looks like a freshly baked item, possibly cookies or a pizza. Next to the tray is a glass mixing bowl filled with batter or dough. Various other baking supplies and utensils can be seen on the counter, including a ceramic mug or pitcher with a playful design featuring cartoon figures. The kitchen has wooden cabinets, a tiled backsplash, and large windows letting in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for hands-on learning and culinary exploration.

Hands-On Science Learning Through Baking

I admit it. I felt bad for private schoolers and homeschoolers growing up. Without Bunsen burners or cat dissection tools or the excitement of that big black lab table, how would they ever survive in college? (Insert snark) Twenty years later, I’m still paying off my college debt —- including those anatomy and biochem labs every semester. And what did I learn? How to cram for tests and get good grades in hard classes. I have very little recall other than anatomy. Hands on meant more. Now, I see science a bit differently. 🔬Learn to write an organized report to share results with others. 🔬Follow detailed steps currently. What is instead of stressing about what they “don’t get”, we… 👉Prepare them with baking. 👉Let them mess up. 👉Teach them to write well. 👉Learn the science of our world. 👉Done. As we’re just starting high school classes with CC, I am just now seeing science in Challenge. But I know there are lots of experiments and reports. To me, that’s enough. First hand experience right here! 🙋‍♀️
