The Science Behind Favorite Foods from NSTA's Book Beat... For grades K–6, sample the reading and science lesson "Kitchen Chemistry" from Christine Royce, Emily Morgan, and Karen Ansberry'sTeaching Science Through Trade Books. Your students will make observations and determine whether the change they observe when cooking pancakes is a physical or chemical change. Also included in the downloadable lesson is an activity in which older students determine whether common household substances are acids or bases on the pH scale.
