Why Bread Rises
Yeast, sugar and a balloon.
Kitchen Science Camp: Edible Experiments
A four-day camp for ages 7 to 11. Children run a food experiment each day and find out the science behind things they eat.
Class Experience
Each day has one experiment and one question, such as why bread rises or why apples go brown. Children predict, test and record what they see. Recipes use common ingredients, and an adult should be nearby for anything involving heat or knives.
How classes work
The camp meets 4 days in one week for 45 minutes a day, with up to 5 learners. Each day builds on the one before.
What we'll cover
Day 1: Why Bread Rises – Yeast, sugar and a balloon.
Day 2: Brown Apples – Test what slows browning.
Day 3: Butter in a Jar – Shake cream and see it separate.
Day 4: Ice Cream in a Bag – Salt, ice and freezing.

Parents Often Ask
Yes, an adult should be nearby in the kitchen.
The ingredient list is sent ahead; please tell the teacher about substitutions.
Some are edible. The teacher says clearly which ones.
It meets 4 times in one week for 45 minutes each day, so it fits into a school break.
Each day builds on the one before, so attending every day is best.
Meet your Instructor
Before becoming a classroom science teacher, this educator worked with wildlife, in a microbiology lab, and in animal welfare, and volunteered extensively with youth camps. Classroom instruction centers on visual, tangible content and step-by-step concept breakdowns so new ideas become manageable and memorable. Lessons incorporate models, live examples where appropriate, and activity-based exploration to foster curiosity and scientific thinking. Ongoing availability for questions and support helps learners deepen understanding beyond the lesson.
