Food Science (Fall 2023)
About Course
Extremely hands-on, interactive, discussion-based, and fun!! Small class size. Partnered lab work during every class! Your student will end this course with a deeper admiration of the intricacies of not just food itself, but the science behind how it’s prepared, and cared for, its nutrition, how food is marketed (psychology), where taste comes from, etc. We will apply some basic principles and knowledge of chemistry, microbiology, thermodynamics, safety, and nutrition. They will also build relationships, improve communication skills and gain confidence in a group learning setting.
