Summary: Students learn from hands-on application why a recipe is important (especially when working in a lab setting together).
Main Curriculum Tie: Career and Technical Education Introduction Standard 6 Objective 3 Demonstrate basic skills related to nutrition, food preparation, and clothing and textiles. Career Connections: - food service, anything requiring following directions
Materials: Bread, cheese, butter, frying pan, turner, plates.
Background For Teachers: Have lab groups prepared ahead of time.
Student Prior Knowledge: None... it actually works best if they've never been in a kitchen before. Intended Learning Outcomes: Students will recognize the purpose of using recipes when cooking. Instructional Procedures: 1. Have students go back to their kitchens.
2. Tell them they are going to be making grilled cheese sandwiches as a group.
3. Don't give them any instructions on how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Let them try to figure it out as a group.
4. As they argue, tell them they have to work it out as a group. (Unless it gets really ugly).
5. After the lab, have them outline the problems they ran into as a group and list these on the board.
6. Discuss the purpose of a recipe with the class and give them examples of good recipes from cookbooks to look at.
Strategies For Diverse Learners: Students can help each other while in the kitchen.
Assessment Plan: Give the students credit for following lab rules and procedures. They should also get some credit for positively participating in their group.
