Teaching science through cooking to kids | ASHIE BHANDIWAD, Ph.D. | TEDxSanFrancisco

Dr. Ashie Bhandiwad is a strong advocate for food based S.T.E.M. education for young children. In her talk she shares why teaching science through cooking makes sense. Previously at the bioenenergy development of Energy Bioscience Institute at UC Berkeley. Developing the philosophy to teach kids science through cooking via a monthly experience boxed and delivered to their doors. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

The popping boba is awesome. You apply chemistry in cooking. Cooking as you've explained it is science that helps in socializing and communicating with others, teaching science through experiments and having an interactive course of the actual process (unlike in textbooks) and since the kids made it, knowing what ingredients they've used and how they made it is gonna greatly increase the likeliness of them actually eating it. Great life lesson, you've deserved my *like* !

[@АлександраБ-д1г]

You're amazing! You impressed me so much! It can be great if you 'll make your cooking science channel for kids and their parents. As for me I've forgotten nearly everything, I mean science.

[@sophieacapella]

This is sooooo smart and brilliant!!!! It brings tears to my eyes !

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Cooking is very similar to chemistry.

[@Chiisainyo]

No. Cooking IS chemistry. Any kitchen is just an everyday lab.

I mean in order to understand how to do this and how it actually works you still need to go to school... I feel like this is something one could enjoy once they’ve got their education. I mean she got a degree in science so that’s why she’s capable of understanding it

[@MJ-gm3ko]

I guess she refers to just teaching the kids basic science so they understand it better and it is easier and more interesting in school for them in the future. Take for example smoke. That's solid particles in a gas. Now that is easy to understand if you know that fog is liquid particles in a gas and we have all seen fog and smoke and connect images, memories and feelings with it. That makes it easier to understand the process of things in school. That's probably what she means.

[@HotMamaShida]

In my experience that’s not necessarily true. I’m homeschooling a 10 year old and he’s at the level of science that I never fully grasped in school, and never had to use again, so it’s all new for me. But I know how to research and use the internet to find the information he needs in a way he’ll understand. That’s what led me to this video, he’s taken an interest in learning how to cook and he loves science, so I’m researching. And since I’m looking for ways to help us both understand what we’re learning, we both find enjoyment in the process.

I never learnt why ovens cook certain foods more thoroughly than microwaves, until my master's electromagnetic theory lectures when I learned about the relation between skin depth and different frequencies. For I child, this could be described as: 'at higher frequencies, the waves penetrate deeper, heating the food more thoroughly to its core'. Please correct me if I'm wrong since this is something I only learned recently.

She is unique in her own profession and that's make her distinguish

2:20 "What does a train eat" ? now we are asking the real questions !!!!

[@pratibha1976]

Betty Page-Crocker 😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️👏🏽☺️

[@xMrCh33s3x]

Depends on the type of train. Diesel, coal, etc.

[@robinwiley7166]

I was a preschool science teacher and used food and cooking. I had a great time and the best part was they all got to eat their experiments. Even in a high school class I was in we made a supersaturate by making lemonade.

[@sophieacapella]

Bonding with your kids via cooking: YES YES YES 😊😊😊

[@sanjitashirodkar6194]

Wow...I love chemistry and also cooking ...

Nice talk

It's no science but can this besent to a mobile device. This computer is sim and had incorporated a firewall mking it a touch more difficult. Thank you

Bad title... should be "Teaching kids science through cooking" or "Teaching science to kids through cooking". The title as it is sounds very strange.

[@c-LAW]

Judging from the title, someone need teach grammar to TEDx.

[@nonyabizness.original]

teaching science by cooking to kids? pretty muddled title, but i get it!

[@kothar6159]

Missread that as teaching science while cooking kids, need to stop watching hannibal.

Do you like poetry or music?

[@raykent3211]

@@Emanpari69 that's good. I recommend taking an interest in cooking too, cos we all need to eat, but people have done that for millions of years with little science and no math, so you can skip those if you hate them.

With all due respect she is too overweight to teach about preparing food and teaching children is a big responsibility. I use the same approach and it really works as children are more curious before the school and it's an excellent way to introduce them to the Science which is the art of answering children questions.
