The Ingredient Lab Lesson 5: The Great Classroom Baking Challenge
In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of leavening agents, sugar, and flour by creating their own muffins.
Activities:
Putting It All Together
Students complete a matching activity to review what they learned in previous lessons.
Create Your Own Muffins
In groups, students create a muffin recipe using a guided planning worksheet and recipe template. Our Basic Muffins recipe is one of the most popular recipes in the program because it helps students bake with confidence and get great results every time.
Sensory Evaluation
Students complete sensory evaluations of the recipe variations the class makes to experience the effects of different ingredients. In this lesson, they also plate their muffins and present them to guest judges for evaluation.
Self-Reflection
Students complete this reflection to highlight key takeaways and explain their contributions to collaboration, teamwork, safety, time management, and recipe success.
