Abstract

This study was carried out to explore chemistry learning through kitchen resources and to perform an experiment by using kitchen resources at the school level. It also explores how kitchen resources can be used to teach chemistry in an educational context. A qualitative research methodology was used for this study. Twenty students of secondary level (about 16 years of age) were selected from the purposive sampling procedure. The information was gathered from the experiment performed by the students through kitchen resources, and the cooking experiences of participants were taken from the in-depth interview. It was found that with the use of familiar kitchen ingredients and cooking processes, students can see the practical applications of chemistry and develop a deeper understanding of the subject. Teachers can use these resources to create engaging, interactive lessons promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The kitchen resources should be integrated into the secondary-level chemistry curriculum, which can be a fun and effective way to enhance chemistry learning.
