Cooking and science go hand in hand in a homeschooler's kitchen. The agricultural science of growing food in a garden, the chemistry of mixing ingredients, the physics of cutting and baking, the senses involved in tasting and smelling and the biology of nutrition and digestion are all endless ingredients for homeschool cooking lesson plans.

Cooking Math

Every chef knows that ingredients must be carefully measured and or weighed. There are specific measuring devices for liquids and solids. Measuring cups, often made of glass, have lines on the side for measuring the volume of liquids. Measuring scoops are usually stackable, and come in a variety of sizes for measuring solids and semi solid substances. Measuring spoons are suitable for small quantities of liquids and solids. A weighted scale is a great cook and learn tool, but cooking classes can go on without a scale.

Cooking Science

Keeping a vegetable garden is a great way to teach life science, and some parents believe that a child who has grown a vegetable is more likely to eat what he's grown.
