Kitchen Chemistry - English and Science

JKTCH1ES
Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Ms L. Neveling.

Have you ever thought of cooking and chemistry in the same breath? Next time you enter the kitchen to eat something, think about how it was made. And also think about how kitchens are a dangerous place… a place of possible murder…

What will you learn?

All about acids and bases and how these impact on the taste of your food. What chemical reactions have to do with cooking. How food can be surprising - and in our English short stories how food can sometimes be a part of a scary story. 

In this course you will…

Cook lots of different food and explain the chemistry behind the food. You will even have to do a speech on a type of food and the chemistry involved in making it!

You will like this course if…

You like chemistry, experiments, food, scary stories, reading, writing, and cooking shows!
