My students need timers to accurately prepare recipes that involve cooking techniques like baking, defrosting, broiling. They also need the Rubbermaid containers to store food that each group prepares.

My Students
The students I have the opportunity to work with are creative, innovative, enthusiastic young people who are known to thank their teachers when they leave classrooms. There are over 1,100 students on campus in grades four through eight. It wasn't always like this, but in the past few years, the school has blossomed as the result of a visionary principal, progressive staff and active parent community. As a result, there is now a lottery and long wait list for new enrollees.
Parents are coming in droves to visit the campus and see all it has to offer including a wide variety of elective classes that you would normally only have access to in high school or college.
For example, students can take Theater, Dance, Speech, Tap, Ensemble, Encore, Keyboards, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Art just to name a few. They can also get involved in a Community Action Team elective course, Future Teacher elective course, or be a part of ASB, Media or Yearbook. They can even learn how to use a 3D printer in a class designed to teach that skill. The students are noticeably vibrant and well behaved. Everyone feels fortunate to be there including me.
My Project
Most of us only glance at the stove clock when we prepare food to get a general idea of how long to cook food. However, if you're anything like me, you can sometimes get distracted, especially when you have to multi-task in the kitchen. As a result, food ends up burned or undercooked. Setting a kitchen timer assures accuracy. In fact, it can make all the difference particularly when it comes to baking. Since there is only one clock in my classroom that is not 100% trustworthy, I'd like each small group of students to have their own timer. I choose a stainless steel variety because they are easy to clean and more durable than plastic. I chose a wind-up timer because they are more simple to operate than digital timers. Since my students are beginners in the kitchen, simple is better. With these timers, students will receive a precise and audible notification when their food is ready to change environments.
