Learning Story - Immersion Kitchen Chemistry

Learning Experience/Process:

• What stood out in this learning Experience/Process: During this learning experience/process the thing that stood out for me the most is that you can use milk and lemon juice to make indian cheese, it was really interesting to know that just two ingredients can make something like cheese. Also something that stood out to me is the different type of chemical reactions that happen when using different ingredients. The last thing that really stood out for me was that some of the ingredients didn’t create a chemical reaction when put together.

What I Learnt:

• What did I learn during this process: In this process one of the things i learnt is that not every experiment makes a chemical reaction that only certain ingredients mixed together makes a chemical reaction. Another thing i learnt during this immersion workshop was that working with younger kids is just as fun as working with my friends.

• What learning happened here: The learning that happened here for me was to use a hypothesis to predict whether the ingredients we put together would create a chemical reaction or not. Some other learning that happened here was by mixing vinegar, any type of oil and a flavour like garlic or soy sauce to make a simple salad dressing.

Next Steps:

• What will you do to enhance/extend this learning: To enhance/extend this learning in my spare time i will research some more chemical reactions and do them myself to see if there's anything else that could create a chemical reaction, and which one ( eg.bubbly, rising etc).

• How will you deepen your understanding in this learning: To deepen my understanding in this learning i will start to research more about how the reaction takes place and what is needed to make the reaction
