TEACHx 2024

Physics and other STEM fields often require students to apply unit conversions to properly solve problems, perform experiments, and judge whether a solution makes sense. Using recipes while cooking often requires unit conversion, so I created a recipe unit conversion activity to increase engagement and allow students to incorporate their identities. Students choose a recipe of their favorite dish or dessert and convert the units appropriate for prescribed measurement tools. I will describe the learning objectives, considerations, format, examples, and areas for improvement. Finally, I look forward to discussing and brainstorming how you can take core skills in your STEM field and convert them into inclusive teaching activities.
