What’s really in the food we eat—and why does it matter? In this deliciously engaging course, students will tap into their natural curiosity about food to explore the fascinating world of chemistry. From testing nutritional content to uncovering the hidden reactions behind everyday meals, students will dive into hands-on experiments that bring core chemistry concepts to life. They'll explore how this knowledge applies across real-world industries—like food safety, product development, health, and agriculture—and then choose one area to investigate further through a student-led project. Whether decoding ingredient labels or simulating food lab tests, students will develop critical thinking skills and scientific know-how in a context they care about. It’s chemistry made tasty, with learning that sticks.
