Making Fudge

During their unit over the Scientific Method, the eighth grade class had the opportunity to put their dimensional analysis and scientific notation skills to work by making fudge! They first had to convert given amounts of each ingredient into more practical units to measure out. Once conversions were made, they were to measure and start cooking! Besides getting to practice on their measuring skills, they also were able to implement the safety precautions learned in previous lessons. They mixed their ingredients together and used a hot plate to heat it all up! After allowing the fudge to cool and harden, they were able enjoy their yummy results!
