(NLDO)- From knowledge of natural sciences in textbooks, teachers and students in District 1 experience an interesting and unique culinary journey.
From the lesson on Acetic Acid in the 9th grade natural science subject, teachers and 9th grade students of Vo Truong Toan Secondary School (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) "transformed" the lesson into an unexpected culinary experience journey.
Ms. Bui Thi Minh Chau, Vice Principal of the school, said that with the desire to help students access creative knowledge and connect with practice, the school's Natural Science Group organized the topic "Enhancing experiential activities in teaching natural science" with the lesson Acetic Acid. The lesson is not only limited to knowledge in textbooks, but also an exciting journey of discovery through experimental activities, practical applications and enhancing information technology in teaching.
The lesson started with a game of "blind bag tearing", students had to quickly answer questions about old knowledge of Acetic Acid.
The lesson started with a game of "blind bag tearing", where students had to quickly answer questions about their previous knowledge of Acetic Acid. Thanks to this, students not only reviewed their knowledge but also practiced quick reflexes, teamwork spirit and problem-solving skills.
In activity 2, students were assigned to research how to prepare vinegar from starch or sugar and conduct experiments to cultivate vinegar and make Kombucha tea at home. During the lesson, groups took turns presenting the preparation process and heatedly debated the method as well as the practical application of the product through a video report. Groups scanned the QR code to score each other based on established criteria.
Using homemade vinegar and kombucha, groups of students turned their classrooms into creative kitchens.
In the third activity, from vinegar and Kombucha tea made by themselves, groups of students turned the classroom into a creative kitchen. They participated in the challenge of making salads and mixing drinks from Acetic Acid, learning and practicing nutritional and culinary skills. Next, by using mind maps and poster design, through product display stations, students will discover many other applications of Acetic Acid in life such as from food preservatives, pharmaceuticals to lime treatment, biological detergents... Through that, students understand more clearly that natural science is not only in books but also exists in every corner of life.
At the end of the lesson, there is a video using AI made by students to summarize the knowledge on the topic of Acetic Acid. Through this, students can systematize their knowledge, develop skills, and at the same time save memorable memories in the journey of discovering Acetic Acid.
Students love cooking more after experiential learning
By making their own vinegar, salads and drinks, students also learn life skills.
Ms. Tran Kim Dung, the teacher who conducted the topic, shared that through this experiential lesson, students not only gain a deeper understanding of Acetic Acid but also develop scientific thinking, teamwork, presentation and creativity skills. The combination of technology, AI and experimental activities helps students become more interested in Natural Science. In particular, when making their own vinegar, salads and drinks, students also learn life skills, nutritional awareness and how to prepare healthy food, creating a foundation for a scientific and proactive lifestyle.
According to Ms. Dung, teachers all want their students to experience more because in reality, the 2018 General Education Program directs students to practice more, less theory but still ensures basic knowledge. To have an experiential lesson, teachers and students have 3 weeks to prepare, they will consult with each other, take specific minutes of each student's work, the teacher will grade based on this part and students will also evaluate each other. "When organizing experiential activities, students can make their own spices to use in the family, in addition to applying the knowledge they have learned, they also learn many life skills, students like to go into the kitchen and bond with their families more..." - Ms. Dung said.
