Kitchen Field Trip

After the kitchen field trip, students created a product to show what they learned in the kitchen. We had a rap, a song, several posters, and a few written accounts.

The water in the dishwaster is 180 degrees. - Murphy
We learned that a convection oven works because there is a fan in the back that moves the heat around the oven. - Ethan
The food cooks faster in the convection oven. - Cole
We learned that every can and jello bag is bigger than the original. -Michael
The temperature inside the milk cooler is 32 degrees. - Hart
We brainstormed restaurant names. - Alexa
Second graders started making their own menus. - Jessi
The food in the kitchen is used within six weeks of getting it. - Caitlin
They serve more than 500 people a day in our cafeteria. - Kathleen

S'mores (sort of)



S'mores are called that because once you try one, you want some-more. - Zoe

We tried to make s'mores but they wouldn't melt very much. - Alexa

Because of the wind and cool temperature, they didn't melt. - Maysie

We put them in boxes, lined with aluminum foil, and covered with black construction paper. - Cole

We were using solar energy. - Robbie

We put a coke bottle outside and put a mento in it. It exploded. - Blake

We learned a new term that astronauts use. It's called carbon dioxide bubble nucleation. - Zoe

The mentos have tiny pores. The mento looked the moon under the microscope. Each pore made a carbon dioxide bubble. - Cole

Mentos with a smooth surface don't produce carbon dioxide bubble nucleation. - Jessi

We saw a cool website with brain games. http://www.lumosity.com/ - Ms. Searcy
