Description

With virtual school programs, you’ll get the same level of quality Chefsville is known for. Virtual assemblies are fun, interactive, and tailored to the level and interests of your students. Food is a fantastic vehicle to provide an exciting learning adventure that will captivate students. In this program, students will discover the exciting world of cooking by applying their knowledge of scientific tools and concepts to the recipes Chef will demonstrate, with a focus on energy, how it's measured, and how energy can be observed in the use of food ingredients. Energized food ingredients transform. Pasta, bread, chocolate, meats, vegetables, and fruits. "Energy" is the focus of this workshop. The chef will discuss ingredients, cooking techniques and traditions with the students where energy is used in cooking. Convection, conduction, and radiant heats, chemical, magnetic, solar, light, sound, and others are included. Also, kids will use different tools of temperature, measurement, and energy that are common in cooking. Age-appropriate exercises and cooking demonstrations using scientific concepts will help students discover and make sense of their world. Lively cooking and engaging activities, informative lessons, games, and relays allow students to develop life-skills to make healthier choices for their success. During all of our hybrid virtual programs, students can type in questions for us to answer, which makes the programs interactive. Students always have tons of questions about food and cooking! Chefsville can answer all kinds of questions making our program unique and fun.
