Actually, the title should be Baking & Frogs….
Our baking science meeting was a big success! Thanks to the Goss family for hosting (and keeping all the extra cookies). This is an easy an fun experiment to try at home. Just get 2+ recipes worth of Tollhouse cookies. Make one batch as the control. Then split the other into two parts. Select 1 ingredient as the variable and put all of that into one part and none into the other. For example, the recipe calls for 2 eggs: put both into one half and none into the other. Do that for each ingredient (flour, sugar, butter, egg, salt) to test all the combinations. Sugar, flour (use 1/2 & 3/2), and salt make the most dramatic examples.
I am still taking advanced orders for Frog kits. You can send me the $25 via school (Alex in 5th or Isaac in 3rd) or drop it by my house. The kits can be used 3 times but only have the parts for 1 frog. The instructions claim it only takes 15 minutes to make a new frog. If you have multiple impatient scientists in your family then you may want to consider getting a kit per scientist.
