Abstract

Cooking is an activity that is a very essential part of life. It turns out that even such a simple household chore like cooking involves many physical concepts specifically in heat and thermodynamics. The primary goal of this workshop is for the teacher-participants to try out activities in their physics classes that will enable their students to realize and appreciate the scientific concepts and laws of thermodynamics that are involved in the process of cooking or baking. These types of activities are not only very educational but also quite fun and interesting for both students and teacher. Participants will be grouped into three to five groups. Each group will be given specific food to cook. They will then assess the concepts involved.
