Science 8 is Cooking with Chemistry 2014
As a culminating activity for an 8th grade science unit on classifying matter, students adapted favorite recipes to include information about the pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures (homogeneous and heterogeneous) in the ingredients and steps of the recipe, as well as the physical and chemical changes that occur as the food is prepared. For extra credit, students were also encouraged to make the food in their recipe and share it with classmates on a chemistry feast day. To participate in the feast, all students brought non-perishable food items to share with our local food bank.

Dr. B’s Big Soft Ginger Cookies, modified from Better Homes and Gardens magazine
I found this recipe many years ago, and I make them all the time because the cookies are so delicious! They are big and soft and gingery, just like their name! CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: The pure substances are baking soda (NaHCO3), salt (NaCl), and sugar (C12H22O11). The ingredients that are homogeneous mixtures are all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, butter, and molasses. The fully mixed batter is also a homogeneous mixture. The heterogeneous mixtures are the egg, the batter before it is mixed, and the cookies after they are finished baking. The butter warming up after it is taken out of the refrigerator, and the dough being formed into balls are both physical changes. The puffing up of the cookies and the change in color on the bottom of the cookies as they bake both indicate that chemical changes are taking place. NUTRITION INFORMATION PER COOKIE: 142 calories, 2 g protein, 21 g carbohydrates, 6 g fat, 11 mg cholesterol, 118 mg sodium, 56 mg potassium Submitted by: "Dr. B."
Mikaela S.'s Peanut Butter Balls Modified From Memere Elizabeth
This recipe is from my grandma and are a traditional Christmas treat. CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: My pure substance is the water used to wash your hands before making the balls (H2O). Homogeneous mixtures include margarine, peanut butter, confectionary sugar, vanilla, and paraffin wax. Heterogeneous mixtures include graham cracker crumbs and chocolate bits. Melting the wax and chocolate chips, and making the balls are physical changes. Chemical changes are the photosynthesis that the vanilla bean does, and digestion when you are eating these yummy treats. Submitted by: "Mikaela S."
Marina V's Mom’s Popovers modified from Martha Stewart’s Living Magazine.
My mom found this recipe a few years ago, and when our family is all together on the weekend, she makes them for breakfast. They’re called popovers because they sort of blow up in the oven, and “pop over” the pan. The homogeneous mixtures are the whole milk, unsalted butter and the flour. The heterogeneous mixtures are the eggs. Salt is the only pure substance (NaCl). Some signs that there are chemical changes occur are when the popovers change color in the ovens, and when the liquid mixture solidifies. Some physical changes are when the flour, eggs, salt, and milk mix together, the batter turns yellow. Submitted by: "Marina V."
Michaela M.'s Chocolate Chip Cookies from Scratch modified from Holiday Cookies 2005, Special Issue Holiday 2005
This recipe is what many people in my family and I have always used to make chocolate chip cookies, which are simple but delicious. CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: The pure substances used to make the chocolate chip cookies are baking soda, NaHCO3, salt, NaCl, and sugar, C12H22O11. The homogeneous mixture ingredients include all-purpose flour, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and milk chocolate chips. The heterogeneous mixtures are the eggs, and the dough before it is mixed. After the dough is mixed, it becomes a homogeneous mixture, but when the chocolate chips are added, it goes back to being a heterogeneous mixture. In addition, the cookies after they are finished baking are heterogeneous mixtures. Physical changes include the chocolate chips melting while they are in the oven, and the cookies becoming harder after they are taken out of the oven. Signs that chemical changes are occurring include the bottom of the cookies darkening as they bake, and the cookies expanding as they bake because gas is being produced. Submitted by: "Michaela M."

The ingredients that are homogeneous mixtures are butter, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and milk chocolate chips. The heterogeneous mixtures are the eggs, the batter before and after being mixed, the all- purpose wheat flour, and the cookies when they are done cooking. The warm cookies after being taken out of the oven, and the dough being formed into balls are both physical changes. The puffing up of the cookies and the change in color on the bottom of the cookies as they bake both indicate that chemical changes are taking place. Submitted by: "Caitlin W"

Kaylee-jo Z’s Pumpkin Cookies, modified from my Mom’s recipe
got my recipe from my, who got it from her math teacher in 6th grade. We make these cookies all the time because they are delicious! We make them for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and for my birthday! They are also a really nice fall treat. (You can add whatever you want to, you don’t have to put chocolate chips or walnuts, you could put anything in it.) There are a some chemical and physical changes in this recipe. The physical changes are when you mix the dry ingredients together, because it stays the same and nothing fizzes or changes color and when you mix just the the liquids (without the dry ingredients) together, because nothing solidifies, fizzes, or has a drastic change in color. The chemical changes are when you mix the two together, because they form a thick liquid and you can smell a new smell. Another chemical change is when the cookies are baking, you can smell how delicious they are and that smell wasn’t there before! Submitted by: "Kayee-jo Z."
Justice S's Molasses cookies, modified from Joyofbaking.com

The homogeneous mixtures are molasses, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground cinnamon butter, all purpose flour, and the mixed batter. The heterogeneous mixtures are eggs, un-mixed batter.

Sarah L’s Sour Cream Cookies Modified By my Grandmas Recipe.
I got this recipe from my mom who got it from my grandma. We make them usually on Christmas and also on special occasions. But there one of my family favorites. Even though the name is a little weird like ew sour cream? In a cookie? But for sure I will tell you that you can't taste it! It just gives it the right taste.CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: The pure substances are sugar (C12H22O11) ,baking soda(NAHCO3), and salt (NaCI).The ingredients that are homogeneous mixtures are all purpose flour, and sour cream. The heterogenous mixtures are the egg, and when you put sugar and flour together you can most certainly see the different particles in there. The physical changes are adding sour cream and the wet condiments to your batter, which is a physical change because it’s going from something completely dry to wet. Another physical change is making the dough into balls. This is a physical form because you are changing the form of the dough. Some signs of chemical changes are the cookies expanding in the oven, and the smell of the cookies when they are almost done cooking. The smell is a chemical change because when the batter is not fully cooked it does not have that predominate smell. Submitted by: "Sarah L."

Lee R. Twice baked Potatoes Modified from Mom
My mom found this recipe about 4 years ago and I have been in love with it ever since. I love potatoes and now I can eat a whole one without it being hard. I don’t know where my mom got this recipe but I think she got it from her mother. This might sound weird but I put steak sauce on mine. But you can put anything you want. Or nothing at all.

Olivia N's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
My grandmother always made these cookies for my mom and her brothers, and now my mom makes them for me and my brothers. These cookies were originally inspired from “Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.” PHYSICAL CHANGES: A physical change occurs, as butter,(in the first step) thaws out. It is changing shape slightly as it gets softer, however it is not a chemical change because it it still butter. When all the dry ingredients (Flour, Baking soda, cinnamon and salt) are mixed together, this is a physical change, because the ingredients are changing what they look like by being mixed, but they are still individual ingredients. CHEMICAL CHANGES: The cookie dough has a slight smell, however as the cookies bake, the hot cinnamon smell of the cookies changes, and is a chemical change, because they are changing from the dough, to the finished cookies. You beat that mixture into the butter, sugar and vanilla, until you have a neutral colored dough with and even consistency. This is a chemical change because, as you combine the two substances, the dry ingredients change color, going from the white of the flour, to the yellowy brown of the cookie dough. Submitted by: "Olivia N"
Alyssa S's Apple Pie, modified from Great Gram
My Great Gram always made this pie every Thanksgiving. My whole family always looks forward to dessert because of this apple pie.

Another chemical change is how it smells. Before the pie it is put in the oven, it doesn’t really smell like anything, but once it gets warm it smells delicious Submitted by: "Alyssa S"
Amelia P's Family Favorite Cheesecake, Modified from my Great Grandma's original recipe

CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: A pure substance for my cheesecake is cornstarch (C27H48O20). My two homogeneous mixtures are butter and flour. For my two heterogeneous mixtures, I have eggs (4 of them), and melted butter! Some physical changes that happen in the preparation, and baking of my cheesecake, is when I mix the dry ingredients together, and also when I add the refrigerated and ingredients that are kept cold, to the dry ingredients! Some signs of chemical changes, is when the cheesecake browns at the bottom, from it being warmed up, and cooked so much, for a certain amount of time. Also, another sign of a chemical change, is when the cheesecake, becomes all light and airy, on the inside, and when it rises up towards the top of the pan. I don’t make the cheesecake rise to the top, and I don’t make the cake really hot, so it browns at the bottom. Submitted by: "Amelia P"

Chemistry Information = The pure substances in this dish are salt (NaCI) and Water (H20). I also used many homogenous mixtures such as milk, mozzarella cheese, and Olive oil. Some of my heterogenous mixtures included the spinach, fillo pastry, cottage cheese, and eggs. Throughout the cooking preparation my dish stays heterogeneous because you are always using the fillo pastries. All of the mixings of ingredients is a physical change and so is the drying of the fillo pastries. A chemical change that occured is when the pie is in the oven and expands (becomes larger) and so is the smell that is released while the burek is in the oven. Submitted by: "Brendon M"
Josh B's Sausage and Peppers modified from simply recipes

The homogenous mixtures are Marsala wine, and olive oil. The heterogenous mixtures are Italian sausage links, dried oregano, bell peppers, the yellow onion, the crushed tomatoes, the red pepper flakes, and all of the ingredients combined before and after cooked. The mixture getting hot is a physical change. The browning of the sausages, and the blackening of the onions and peppers are both signs of chemical changes. Submitted by: "Joshua Barber"
Reid T’s Banana Bread, modified from Julia Turtoro’s original recipe
Reid T’s banana bread bread has been a family favorite for the past few years. My mom first discovered the recipe a few years ago in one of her cookbooks. I chose this recipe because it is my favorite dish for every occasion. CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: A pure substance that I used was baking soda. Two homogeneous mixtures were flour and butter. Two heterogeneous mixtures were eggs and bananas. Two physical changes that take place are putting the batter into the pan and when you mix the ingredients. Two chemical changes that occur are the rising of the bread because a gas is being produced and the the batter turning from a liquid to a solid because most things go from a solid.

This is a recipe that we’ve always cooked, not just on special occasions, a lot. The whole family likes the recipe and the food it produces. I chose it because I really like the recipe and it’s something that we make a lot.

Homogeneous mixtures consist of the chocolate morsels and the butter. Two physical changes in the directions are spreading the butter because first it was very clumped, but since it’s spread, it’s thin. The other is patting the crumbs because your fingers will inevitably erode the shape of something, whether it’s the crumbs or the actual cookie bar while doing so. Two chemical changes would be the new smell of it baking in the oven. The other is the color of the crust changing. Before, it’s light brown, and then it’s a medium-darker brown.
