Description:

STEM Engineering Challenge: Are you ready to try a cooking experiment? You’re

going to love this challenge! It’s hands-on STEM at its best? Let’s cook some

pancakes!

What is the challenge?

This STEM activity will have your students experimenting with one of the

ingredients of a pancake. After testing many versions of the recipe they will use

the data collected to make a final batch of pancakes in the attempt to create the

best possible one. The design feature is, of course, to add toppings to the final

recipe and enjoy eating the gourmet meal!

Students will test several amounts of one ingredient, learn to judge and score a

pancake, and use their data to determine the correct amount to use of the
ingredient. They will then need to increase the recipe to make a large batch of

pancakes attempting to create the best possible pancake. Adding toppings and

eating is the best part!

What is your prep?

You will need supplies in addition to this package, including all-purpose flour,

baking powder, vegetable oil, milk, water, sugar, syrup, mixing bowls, measuring

cups, measuring spoons, paper plates, plastic cutlery, a spatula, and a griddle for

cooking. You will need to set up griddles (more than one works well) and consider

how ingredients will be dispensed.

This package (the activity) specifically contains:

● Pancake/Cookie Recipe
● Scoring Rubric for Pancakes/cookies
● Video (Recording yourself preparing your pancakes)

About the video recording:


Once they have their work materials, they are asked to record the following steps

1. Record yourself mixing the ingredients (one by one)


2. Record yourself cooking pancakes or cookies
3. Record the final result.
Important: Videos must be attached in the assignment.
Important: copyright will be respected, therefore, those who wish to present the
video to the class will be accepted.

It is a fabulous activity that will have your students measuring, mixing, stirring,
cleaning up, experimenting, making decisions, and collaborating. It’s hands-on

learning at its best!
