Kitchen Chemistry

Exploring Changes in the Kitchen

Your kitchen is a science lab! Many physical and chemical changes happen while cooking and preparing food.

Fun Activities

  • Dissolving sugar in tea (physical change).
  • Baking cookies (chemical change as dough becomes cookies).
  • Freezing juice to make ice pops (physical change).

Why It Matters

Understanding these changes helps you follow recipes and even invent your own tasty creations.

Examples

  • Observing eggs turning solid when cooked.

  • Watching chocolate melt and harden again.
