Physics of Food/Cooking Rama Bansil Objective: teach basic physics using food/cooking as the bait
Handout • Sample Lab • Examples of Homework Problems • Lecture Handout
Learning Objectives • In this lab, Part I, you will observe how the melting point of an ice + salt mixture changes with salt concentration. • In part II, you will use this information to make ice cream by manual shaking.
In class Derivations, Simulations • Derivations: Use dimensional analysis, • Equation relating molecular properties to physical properties • Interactive teaching—use PRS (clickers) to pose conceptual questions during lecture SIMULATIONS—illustrate molecular properties Molecular Workbench VMDL ( Developed at Ctr. For Polymer Studies, BU—Sergey Buldyrev / Gene Stanley/ RB)
