What’s Included

Test Kitchen Programs

Gross Science

Discover how the kitchen and “gross” science have a connection. Participants will uncover the digestive system from beginning to end while making and sampling no-bake cookies. Fun and learning abound during program activities while students incorporate math and measuring skills and uncover digestive system science.

Thinking Like a Scientist

Using food as the context, participants learn to use the scientific process in the kitchen. They observe types and traits of foods and describe differences in similar food products. Participants will also predict scientific outcomes and test the results.

For Groups

This program is designed as a group booking and requires a minimum of 15 participants.
