Polymers and Crystals: Their Role in Food Science
Blend chemistry with cooking in this exploration of polymers, carbohydrates, and food science. Experimenting with gelatin produces concrete examples of the bonding and ploymerization discussed in the lesson. Copious, comprehensive...
Curated OER
Motion Lotion
Students view a video to explain the meaning of friction. In a hands-on experiment using gelatin, students test the effects of lubrication on friction. They complete a worksheet imbedded in the lesson plan to describe their observations.
Curated OER
Gelatin Volcanoes
Students enjoy a hands on activity to understand how and why magma moves inside volcanoes.
Curated OER
Beef and Beef By-Products
Learners examine the various types of beef and the many uses of its by-products. They increase their knowledge by playing a game of "beef bingo."They discuss what parts of beef animals are their by-products.
