Cooking Is A Science

"Cooking is a Science" Club

We will make things like smoothies, pop popcorn in a lunch bag, make green eggs (without the ham) in the microwave, and even make doggie biscuits. At the end of the year, they will have their own cookbook and notes on what worked, what didn't, and write or draw about the experience. 

If anyone has had success with a kid recipe that does not involve actual baking, please share with Mrs. Davis.  Thanks to Ms. McAnespie and Ms. Weiner, we have wonderful resources, including a food processor, a burner, and a microwave oven, plus a lot of cooking utensils.  
Purpose: To catch student's interest while they are young; To learn that food can be healthy and tasty at the same time.
Cost: The dues are $10.
Open To: This club is open to 12, first or second grade students
Meeting Days:
The meetings are held the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, starting in September.
Sponsor: Mrs. Davis, (Email) (About)
