  • Friday Challenge!

    Published 13/02/21, by Charlie Mackinnon

    Next week is Shrove Tuesday. Therefore, this challenge is all about Pancakes! Today we are presenting you with a selection of Pancake related challenges to choose from.

    Design Your Own Pancake Topping:

    Lemon and sugar is a traditional topping to put on your pancakes. Can you design something a little more adventurous and personal to you.

    Can you create a labelled diagram of what your pancakes will look like?

    Can you create a set of instructions to make your pancakes?

     

    Make You Own Pancakes:

    Find a recipe. Measure out the ingredients. With the help of an adult cook your own Pancakes.

     

    A Flipping Challenge:

    Flipping Pancakes is an important part of the pancake cooking process. Today we are challenging you to investigate the following question:

    ‘What material is best for flipping?’

    Here is what you need to do:

    -Ask to borrow a frying pan from your kitchen.

    -Pick a material (cardboard for example).

    -Cut out a pancake sized circle from your material.

    -Test how easy it is to flip. How will you measure this? Perhaps you might like to see how many successful flips you can do with it in 30 seconds.

    -Record your results.

    -Repeat your investigation with a range of different materials.

    When you have finished your investigation, email us and tell us what you found out.

    We had amazing fun making non-Newtonian fluid to finish off our learning about states of matter in science!  It acts as a solid when force is applied and a liquid when force is not applied.
