🥣 Science of Cooking 

A hands-on program where children explore real science concepts through everyday cooking. Each session uses a simple recipe to help students observe, test, and understand how ingredients change through heat, mixing, and time. Kids learn by doing, tasting, and reflecting on each step of the process.

Recipes and science topics we explore include:

  • No-bake energy bites to explore mixing, ratios, and texture
  • Melting chocolate treats to observe heat and temperature changes
  • Gelatin cups to study setting and cooling
  • Microwave cakes to see chemical and physical changes during cooking
  • Butter or whipped cream experiments to understand agitation and state changes
  • Color-changing drinks or layered snacks to explore density and liquids

Skills students develop:

  • Fine motor control through pouring, stirring, and assembling
  • Early measurement and math awareness
  • Scientific thinking and questioning
  • Focus and independence
  • Following multi-step instructions
  • Kitchen safety and tool use

Whether your child is mixing ingredients, watching food change, or tasting a final result, this class builds curiosity, confidence, and foundational science understanding through cooking.
