Sounds like the Home Ec teacher didn't do his/her homework in coming up with a meaningful lesson plan and sent everyone off on a snipe hunt. Of what use is this?

Researching the difference between baking soda and baking powder, understanding why yeast needs certain temperatures and a gazillion other things would be time better spent.

I also agree with Lizard.
