Week 1 - Wacky Kitchen Science

July 15 - 19, 2013
For children ages 6 to 9

Ever wonder why cheese melts or why salt makes things taste better? Come find out as we extract the science of food as we whip, cut, smash, mix, pour, and dig into how food is prepared and made. Campers will create edible kitchen concoctions to take home or eat at camp - while discovering how and why certain substances fizz, explode, and change form.
