This Term for Topic we are looking at Heat on the Move and then relate it to Transportation (Simple Mechanisms) that is how heat contributes towards movement of machines.
So to start off our Junior syndicate thought to make Porridge so that children can see how heat travels from the stove element to the pot and then gets the porridge cooked.
Kids really had fun as they got to experience a great deal from Writing the method they think would be used to cook the porridge (the ingredient list was provided). Then taking them to the Kitchen, cooking the porridge and eating.
Please do come back and read the experience some of the kids shared during Writing lesson after eating the Porridge!
WRITING BEFORE THE PORRIDGE WAS MADE
IN THE KITCHEN
NOW AND THEN WE MOVED IN CIRCLES TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING BUT FOR SAFETY REASONS WE HAD TO SIT DOWN.
Hi Room 5,
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to see that you were being safe, sitting down in the kitchen while the porridge was cooking. To cook, the water in the porridge had to boil - and boiling water and the steam that is created when water boils, can cause very bad burns, especially on young skin.
What a lot of happy looking children, eating and enjoying the porridge, which was cooked as the heat transferred from the stove element through the pot and into the ingredients.
