This fun and joyous class will be filled with laughs as we create a nose-tickling desert. Please note that since we are using citric acid and baking soda to create the fizz this will not be your average sweet candy and may taste a bit sour. All of the ingredients and equipment are easily accessed in your local grocery store and the recipe is vegan. The candy pop rocks (which is the inspiration of the fizzy candy) was originally invented in 1956 by William A. Mitchell, a chemist at the General Foods company. The fizzing is created by a simple chemical reaction that we will be looking into in the class. The class will be a combination of hands on activity, colorful presentation, and socialization.

- learners will be introduced to the terms reactant, product, and catalyst
- learners will get a basic overview of the acid-base reaction
Food Science
- learners will gain knowledge into why pop rocks are so special and how the are created
- learners will get a background in how pressure (physics) is used to create pop rocks
- learners will be given a secondary way to test the candy's temperature used by candy makers worldwide

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Hello! am a scientist and adventurer. I have a Masters degree in Animal Science with minors in Chemistry and Fish & Wildlife. I started my journey investigating sheep and goats, went on to study shrimp and zooplankton, and have many years of experience teaching STEM to students from preschool up to college.
The classes that I am currently teaching cover Food Science, Animal Science, Ichthyology, STEM experiments, and Women in STEM.
All my classes are anchored in exciting themes such as "Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse through STEM", "Interesting Animals from A to Z", and "Microscopic Adventures!". I generally have a short presentation which I try to keep 5-10 minutes long with the rest of the class time working with hands on learning. I create all my own high-quality material that your students will enjoy engaging with. My classroom is inclusive to all.
Interesting facts about myself:
1) I am an identical twin.
2) I have studied seabirds in Antarctica.Reseñas
