Chocolate Mug Cake

WALT identify the difference between a Physical and Chemical change.

This week was the first week of Term 2 and we started to do more online work since it was the start of school and there is the virus going around and we could not go outside. Instead we use hangouts to communicate with each other and our class site to see what we need to work on. We didn't have to do our work at the same time we do them at school and have morning tea or lunch at the same time we have them at school. We could choose when to do our work and today on our topic class site, there was a slideshow about Physical and Chemical changes. 

Physical change is when something is not formed into something new, for example melting an ice cube. A chemical change is when something is formed into something new, for example fireworks. There was a site where we could learn about physical and chemical change. After that we could do some experiments in the slideshow to see if its a physical or chemical change. There was four that we could choose from or even do all of them and we could make some bouncing bubbles, color changing milk, milk plastic tags or even chocolate mug cake. I chose to do the chocolate mug cake because I sometimes see people make it through social media and I badly wanted to try and make it so it was my chance and finally make it and see what it tastes like. I also got my mum to help me because I'm not really good at baking and I don't do it often. I really think that it was chemical change because it was formed into something new.

Here is the pictures that I took:


Keep safe! :)

    What a great way to do your experiment, and you get to eat it as well. It is always good to get someone to help you, luckily your mum was home. Was this a Physical or Chemical change?

    1. Hey Mr Norman, Thanks for commenting on my blog. Sorry for the late reply. I really think that the chocolate mug cake me and mom made is a Chemical change because it is formed into something new:)

  2. Kia ora Denise, Your chocolate mug cake looks great, I loved the way you described what physical and chemical changes were and your description wasn't to long or to short, great job. Next time you could just check that some sentences make sense.

    1. Hi! Trish, Thank you for commenting on my blog. I'm really sorry for the late reply. I'm glad that you liked the photos that I took on my chocolate mug cake that I made with my mom. I will try and explain the ingredients next time if I make any kind of baking or experiment:)

  4. Hi Denise,
    Your cake in a mug looks yummy! I haven't tried making one myself, but have tried the ones my sister made. Did it taste good? You could try adding some nutella into the middle, or some chocolate chunks.. then they'd melt and make the cake gooey in the middle!
    The kitchen is one of the best places for science experiments. Enjoy your time at home!
    Stay safe and keep up the good work :)

    1. Hi! Mrs Lee, Thanks for commenting on my blog post and sorry for the late reply. It tasted so good that I got to enjoy it all by myself because no one else wanted to give it a try. If I have time to bake, I would try and make the chocolate mug cake again with a help of my mom and maybe add some nutella or chocolate chunks in the middle of it and see if it tastes good:)

    Mug cakes are great and easy to make aren't they?
    I liked your explanation for chemical and physical change.
    Did you try any of the other experiments?
    Thanks for sharing.
