Description

Chefsville connects students for success with Family Engagement Nights! This program is meant to improve student outcomes and school performance from preschool to high school. Science Nights offers a way to share information and provides additional core academic activities and resources that will help students and families see an increase in academic achievement. It also highlights what students are doing in the classroom and gives parents a window into their child's academic journey. This program evaluates the increase in student motivation and long-term success that occurs when a child is learning at home as well as in the classroom, which encourages parents to support their students at home. Science Nights works to increase awareness about what students need in order to be successful through demonstrations and presentations that connect food and science, with a heavy focus on motion, force, and energy as they relate to food preparation and kitchen safety. Recipes that prove scientific principles will be demonstrated during the program and then passed out to students to experiment within their own time. "Food is science you can eat!" Kids love food and kids love science - let's encourage them to use both, together!

Students Will

  • observe properties of matter and energy used in the cooking process
  • use several forms of energy: mechanical, thermal and chemical
  • engage by using different forms of motion used in cooking
  • learn vocabulary that describes motion and cooking
  • learn about how the body digests food
  • partake in cooking demonstrations and tastings showing how science is used in cooking
  • predict effects of force exerted on ingredients
