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
