Food investigation: how to begin a food investigation
In this short video, we suggest some first steps for beginning a food investigation.
We look at:-
- analysing the question to understand what is being asked
- checking if the question has different parts
- creating clear objectives
- creating a plan
- finding and using credible research
- thinking about a hypothesis
We run experiments to investigate the action of different raising agents:-
- biological raising agents
- chemical raising agents
- mechanical raising agents
