Cooking, the art and science of preparing food, is far more than daily housework. It's like a fun classroom where you can learn different subjects all at once! 16
Science is everywhere in cooking. When you make bread, the yeast(酵母) eats sugar and makes bubbles of gas. 17 When you cook meat and it turns brown and smells good, that's cool Chemistry. Also, think about heating water, which shows how heat moves. It is all about Physics.
18 You need to follow the instructions when you mix materials, like "adding 1/4 spoon of salt". Sometimes you have to make some changes to feed more or fewer people. That means doing Maths. Even buying the required materials with low cost teaches you Maths.
Food has a lot of history. Pasta didn't start in Italy—it came from Asia long ago! Spices(香料) were once traded like gold, and this changed how countries talked to each other. 19 In hot places, people grow more different foods than in cold places. Learning about these things helps you understand how the world works.
Cooking is like a secret key that opens the door to learning many subjects. It's not just about making yummy food. 20 Schools should teach cooking because it helps students see how everything in learning is connected!
