How to make a simple, easy Banana cake with your family.

Learning Intention: Through cooking we can learn about health and nutrition and how to take care of our bodies to lead happy, healthy lives.  While also looking at the science involved in baking and rising of a cake.

Success Criteria: Looking at the purpose and need to be able to cook for our own health and well being.  How science is involved in being able to create, mix and combine ingredients which produce the final outcome in this case a banana cake.

Children love learning and playing with simple kitchen science experiments.  Why kitchen science?  Because everything you need is already in your kitchen cupboards.  There are many cool experiments to do at home with household items.  This experiment is sure to develop a love for not only being creative in art, but also learning through science.  Have lots of fun kids and please remember to share your work via Seesaw, email and/or google doc.
