Chemistry - Let's Lick the Spoon
by Amanda Stalvey Harrison
The first rule in the chemistry lab is “don’t eat or drink or lick anything in the lab”! This lesson breaks those rules and shows students how culinary is really a practical application of chemistry. Through this lesson, students will feel like culinary chemists! Students will be using chemical processes to spherify fruit juices and other school appropriate drinks, through molecular gastronomy. This lesson will guide you through a sample lesson structure, key resources, materials lists, and the recipes that were found to work the best. This is a great way to collaborate with your school’s culinary teacher and class to highlight both your classes and contents.
