7. Pay special attention to the quantity
specifications and the sequence of
the individual steps. Only perform
experiments that are described in this
instruction manual.
8. The included plastic mold for the

Common Cooking Conversions
In cooking and in science, you use many different measurements, but sometimes the units are
a bit different. In the United States, we usually use United State Customary Units for cooking
measurements. Scientists around the world however have agreed to use the International
System of Units (also called the metric system) so that everyone can communicate data more
easily. This table helps you convert between the two systems.
When you know this: Multiply by this: To get the metric equivalent:
cups 236.6 milliliters (ml)
cups 0.236 liters (l)
teaspoons 4.93 milliliters (ml)
tablespoons 14.79 milliliters (ml)
quarts 0.946 liters (l)
gallons 3.785 liters (l)
fluid ounces 29.57 milliliters (ml)
ounces (mass) 28.35 grams (g)
Fahrenheit (°F)

How many teaspoons?
Each batch of lollipops calls for 180 milliliters (ml) of sugar. How many teaspoons is that?
First you need to know the conversion factor:
Now you can use division. What is 180 ml divided by 5 ml? Or in other words, how many
times does 5 go into 180? You can represent this visually too.
= 36 tsp
5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5 ml = 180 ml
1 teaspoon = 5 ml
