Class Experience

Class will begin by briefly discussing the science behind pickling.  What is it?  Where did it come from?  Why?  Next, we will review and discuss the recipe.What are the ingredients? What will we be pickling today? Why are these ingredients included in the recipe? I will encourage students to smell items as we discuss them. Strong smelling ingredients are fun!  Finally, we will follow the recipe to make a single serving of fresh pickles.  As we are making our pickles, we will discuss the process.  Why are we following these specific steps in the directions?  What is happening?  Students will finish the class with pickles they can eat the very next day, and the recipe to keep, so they can make more!  YUM!

Learning Goals

Students will have fun learning the science behind pickling and will enjoy the process of using fresh cucumbers to make their own pickles.  Learners will practice reading, measuring, and following directions while experiencing the joy of preserving food.  Some students may also learn for the first time, that pickles come from cucumbers!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parents should be close by to help with slicing the cucumber (optional) and measuring and pouring the ingredients. OR Cucumbers can be sliced ahead of time if preferred, and liquid ingredients can be poured into bowls, so students can scoop rather than pour during class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I've had great success helping my students make this recipe in the past.  When I was a classroom teacher, my first grade students and I grew, prepared, and ate foods from our garden throughout the school year.  One of our favorite activities was PICKLE DAY!  We made single servings of pickles using the organically grown cucumbers from our garden.  Students enjoyed learning about pickling, following the recipe, and taking their pickles and the recipe home to share with their families.
