Fat Substitute
Overview:
Each lab will be given a recipe; each of the recipes will be altered. They will need to identify the correct recipe and identify how their recipe was altered. The recipes will all be incorrect except for one of them. One will remain correct. Some may have more flour, not enough, too much salt, too much baking powder/soda, half the amount of fat replacer, ect.

Other Resources/Technology
Needed Resources Ingredients to make cookies. The labs should have everything, but the items used to replace fat.

Standards/Objectives:
Performance Objective 8

Cognitive Domain Level VI

Introduction/Set Induction (1):

We are making cookies today. You each have a recipe that you need to follow very carefully! Your supplies are in your lab.

Transition (1):
Move from the classroom into the labs. Grab aprons, wash hands and begin following the directions on your recipe.

Lesson Body (50) (Content/Teaching Methods)

Group Investigation PHASE 1: Students identify topic (8 min): We are going to explore fat replacers in cookies today! PHASE 2: Each team decides what resources they will need to carry out their investigation (35): The students will be given their resources. They wont know that a group investigation is going on until it is over. PHASE 3: Groups gather information from a variety of sources (7): A taste testing chart will be given to each group so they can compare the different cookies. The appearance will be part of that. PHASE 4: Groups prepare final report (5): How are you going to have students share their work to the larger class? Each group will sample each cookie. This is when they will be told that they need to find the correct recipe. Every

recipe was different so you need to figure out the correct one. Compare recipes if you need and locate the correct one. PHASE 5: The class meets all together and presents their findings to one another (5): Bring all of your cookies to the supply table so that everyone can discuss the differences in the cookies.

Transition (2):
After their labs are clean, they will return to their seats to discuss the recipes and what they discovered with their cookies.

Summary/Closure (5):
This happened during Phase 4 of the Group Investigation. In the final report we talked about the differences and what may have caused that.

Assessment/Evaluation:
Did the students seem genuinely interested in the activity? Did they figure out what recipe was the correct one and how each of the others had been changed?

Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes. *You can use applesauce in cakes and brownies, too. Just substitute the Apple sauce for the same amount of oil. Think of all the FAT you take out when you replace it. 1 Tablespoon of oil contains 14 grams of fat, where applesauce contains 0. ***Change the recipe to be different for each group. 6 different lab groups, use the original recipe, and then have 5 altered ones.***
