    Grades 3-4

Have you ever wondered what your kitchen and a laboratory have in common? Have you thought about the molecular mysteries of your favorite foods? Did you know scientists have a role in every food you purchase in the grocery store? Let’s explore food through the lens of a food scientist. We’ll delve into foodie fun using hands-on experiments in chemistry, engineering and microbiology. Students will understand the intricate scientific principles that make food not only tasty but also safe, nutritious, and sustainable. We’ll culminate our learning by designing a “new food” or food experiment for our “Gastronomic Gala”. Join us for food science…where curious minds meet delicious discoveries! *Note: Food will not be eaten in this course.
