My Project

Welcome to our project for Baking a Chemistry Cake experiment for my students. We need ingredients for our chemistry cake. We need flour, sugar, baking powder, oil, and vanilla. We also need oil spray for our pans, to keep the cake from sticking to the pan. We need baking pans, baking sheets, and muffin pans to bake with. We are also requesting a mixer, bowls, measuring cups, and muffin liners.

Here is the lesson I will teach with these materials: Is baking a cake a chemical change?

Next time you bake a cake, think about this: The cake dough isn't really a cake, but when it's heated in the oven, a chemical reaction occurs and new bonds are formed. How does heat change things? It creates chemical reactions. When it comes to heat and baking, there are two types of chemical reactions to consider; one is “exothermic,” a reaction that produces heat, and the other is “endothermic,” a reaction that takes heat in. As you bake a cake, you are producing an endothermic chemical reaction that changes ooey-gooey batter into a fluffy, delicious treat!

A few things can happen when you bake a cake. Some chemical reactions to keep in mind while doing this tasty experiment are:

1. Heat helps baking powder produce tiny bubbles of gas, which makes the cake light and fluffy.

2. Heat causes protein from the egg to change and make the cake firm.

3. Oil keeps the heat from drying out the cake.

We will also experiment with leaving our an ingredient to compare the cakes.

Thank you for considering our project!
