Summary and Objective
During this lesson,"Top Chef" the students will understand that cooking utentils have changed over time. The materials are different but the end result is still cooking food. The children will examine the photographs from the American Centuries website and compare them to pictures of today's cooking utentils used for the same end result. After examining the photographs and today's modern equivalent tools the class will create a Venn diagram to show differences and similarities.
Teaching Plan
Step 1.
Show the class one photograph at a time and ask the class to describe what they see and how the item may have been used and what source of heat would make these items work. For example: Toasting iron. Make a chart of their descriptions.
Step 2.
Show the class a photo of a toaster of today. Ask the class what this is and how it may be used and how it would be powered. Then show them the picture of the toater iron and discuss how this would work and how it is different from the toater of the past. Add comments to chart.
Step 3.
Then show the class the other photos from the web site: The long handled fry pan, Bake Kettle, lidded hanging pot, bread peel, "Aaron Denio" dinner pot, and Milk pan.
Step 4.
Then show present day equivalents. The photos will include a picture of a modern day dutch oven, a crock pot, a frying pan, a photo of container of whipping cream,and a pizza paddle.
Step 5.
Finally create a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the tools.
Step 6.
As a follow up create a soup in the crock pot to be enjoyed at the end of the day!
