Mix, measure, and explore the science behind your favorite holiday treats! Young chefs will step into the role of kitchen scientists as they discover how ingredients react, change, and transform through heat, mixing, and measurement. Along the way, they’ll learn about chemical reactions and states of matter while creating fun seasonal treats like cookies and holiday chocolates—making learning both hands-on and delicious. To wrap up the experience, students will enjoy a walking field trip to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to see how chocolates are made.
*Please Note: We will be cooking with foods that may contain common food allergies.
