Description
This is a low prep, easy to use lesson that encourages students to identify the NGSS engineering process (practice) steps of Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create and Improve as they watch a professional pastry chef attempt to create a gourmet version of a popular snack food. There are currently 23 videos in the series so this is a lesson than can be repeated several times by using different videos so if you create a class set you can have several lessons done at once.
I also use this lesson to prompt discussions about Growth Mind Set in science and real-world problem solving.
Works well as a stand alone lesson for emergency substitute lesson plans because you can make a class set of the handouts and keep them ready for use. No need to worry if they are updated to your current unit.
Requires:
- Copies of this worksheet
- Internet access to view videos from the Gourmet Makes series from Bon Appetit (length of videos varies from 12-28 minutes) Skittles, Cheetos, Lucky Charms, and Gushers are videos I have used with my students but more snack foods are being added each month so you and your students will have lots of choices.
***I do strongly recommend previewing the full videos before showing in class or leaving it for a sub plan***
