In this engaging and educational class, learners will explore the world of food science. Each lesson includes open discussions, trivia facts, and hands-on activities to spark curiosity and enhance learning. With the opportunity to act as researchers, learners will run experiments to uncover the secrets hidden within our food. They will dive into the realm of food chemistry, discovering the composition of foods and how different preparation methods affect nutritional value. Through exciting experiments, learners will investigate why bread rises with yeast and explore the effects of cooking techniques on the vitamins and minerals in vegetables. They will gain a deeper understanding of the health benefits of food and effective preparation methods. To support their learning, each lesson will provide a Google Drive link with labs, notes, and optional videos for review and further exploration. The class will cater to different learning styles, with beautiful canva lessons, discussions, and engaging activities. Learners can also participate in take-home experiments and homework assignments to reinforce their understanding. **No previous knowledge/experience is required to join this class.
