Part of our street is still solid ice. While we did venture out, the streets near us are a mess. Several neighbors ambushed the snow-plow guy over the snow removal and he isn’t returning. If you find yourself in similar circumstances with teens at home, it’s time for an all in one Chemistry lesson. The kiddos are going to gripe bitterly about doing regular lessons. Let’s mix things up!
1. Start with ChemMatters’ articles: Bringing Chemistry into the Kitchen, The Science of Hot Sauce, Cilantro, Spices: Fakes & Frauds, Synthetic Food Dyes and Seed Oils.
2. Download the Oct 2025 and the Dec 2025 Teacher’s Guides. Do questions and activities related to the articles. Watch Why is Pizza So Good?, The Science of a Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and 9 Ways to Cook Like a Scientist.
3. Try the Small Changes in Structure and Secret Message activities. Cooking has a collection of activities. Extra credit if the teen determines whether or not you have the materials independently.
4. Do a few experiments: Get Cooking with Chemistry, Syrup Detective (Celebrating Chemistry), and 3 Egg-cellently Weird Science Experiments.
5. Make some mozzarella cheese. Get Cheesy has a scientific approach. Use Better Pizza Through Chemistry to make some pizza dough. Read Marinara: Chemical Reactions and Extractions before creating the sauce. Ask your teen to bake a pizza as his or her evaluation.
