Cooking connects the whole world
and is something which appeals to even the youngest sect of our society. It is
not just fun but brings along with it a whole bunch of learning and hands on
experience. Our Kindergarteners visited
the Young Chefs Academy on 24th February, 2015. The Young Chefs as the name
itself suggests, takes into consideration the age of our little learners. Right
from the work stations to the instructions, everything was comprehensible and
play-like for our learners.
They had been involved in the school in the
process of flour changing into pancakes and milk and bananas changing into
banana shake. It was time to take this understanding a little further and also
to reinforce the concept of material transforming into something completely
different. They changed flour into pasta strips, changed milk and sugar into
ice creams. They were expecting huge freezers to freeze the ice-cream, but were
quite surprised to see the effect with the addition of liquid Nitrogen. Though
they were in awe with the final products, the whole process of transformation
brought clarity to the understanding of changes materials might go into.
They were also exposed to some
new terms like Liquid Nitrogen, Acid and Dry yeast, even though they were a
little hard for them to understand.
They devoured the fruits of their hard work
and could safely say that change is fun and change is delicious….
