Abstract
Transform your K-12 classroom or home kitchen into a hands-on culinary laboratory by swapping volume cups for a digital scale. Explore this metric recipe series, hands-on activities, printable worksheets, and videos to build and reinforce interdisciplinary math, science, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) skills. Apply the metric system in daily life to build confidence, develop proportional reasoning, and practice measurement techniques. Companion resources are available on the NIST Metric Kitchen website.Citation
