STEM Pancake Project

4 groups.  1 skillet. Numerous measuring cups and spoons.  
Using the Scientific Method, students were asked to create a better pancake recipe.  Experimentation is easy when you get to taste a delicious finished product!  Not all groups were successful, but it sure was fun to try!  Building these life skills of trying, failing, experimenting, collaborating, etc. were worth it!



Each group had a different approach, but all groups had to communicate their ideas and then come to an agreement about what they would try.

The measuring station was a blast!
After their first attempt, students revised their recipe and tried again!


Of course, when we were all finished with our experiments...we ate!

If only all science was this delicious...
