Description

Students discover the exciting and incredible world of cooking, health, and nutrition through the passions of a real Chef as they see how to apply Science. Energy is the focus for this workshop. Students will work with several types of yeast dough to learn the relationship between matter and energy. Also they 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.
