Both a rotary beater and an electric mixer are used for mixing ingredients. Although both types of mixers have 2 beaters, they work a bit differently. A rotary beater is a simple gear-driven machine that is turned with a hand crank. The hand crank spins the beaters. The speed of the beaters is determined by the speed of manual turning. The electric mixer is powered by a motor, and the mixing intensity is much faster than with a rotary beater.
Cooking with children helps them to learn valuable, age-appropriate lessons that apply to all areas of development. Instead of being limited to the science of investigating physical properties and change, children are also learning other valuable skills. They are learning math skills by measuring, ordering, classifying, and developing spatial concepts. Children gain social–emotional skills such as taking turns, sharing, and trying new experiences. They are also tapping into sensory–motor development as they taste and smell different things, touch food textures, and incorporate large- and small-muscle coordination.

These lessons are aligned with the Common Core State Standards ("CCSS"). The CCSS provide a consistent, clear understanding of the concepts and skills children are expected to learn and guide teachers to provide their students with opportunities to gain these important skills and foundational knowledge.[2]
