I love to include Kitchen Chemistry with Science Camp. Food Chemistry makes a fun elective course, too! This publication, from Utah State, 4H Edible Science clubs has sic interesting experiments to try. Chemical and Physical Changes helps youngsters differentiate between chemical and physical change using ice, marshmallows, and chocolate. (There is an answer me.) Mombrite has an excellent assortment: Edible Science Experiments for Kids. The photo is from a previous Science Camp. I think we were testing The pH of Soda. Below are a few ideas for your class, camp, or summer fun.
1. Kitchen Science is from the Florida Museum of Natural History. This guide has recipes for playdough, ice cream, bread, and color mixing.
2. The ACS has this collection, Chemistry Education Resources on Food. There are labs for younger elementary and middle-school aged students. Look at The Secret Science of Popcorn to sample the material.
3. 4H Cooking 201 has a substantial introduction about Food Safety followed by recipes and tidbits about nutrition. Interspersed are definitions, such as baking powder, baking soda, and leavening agents.
4. ScienceOxford has The Science of Popcorn and Jelly.
5. How about Meringue Cookies and Mayo?
