UF IFAS Extension - Fizz, Pop, Yum! The Science of Food

Why do some foods and drinks get all bubbly and fizzy—like they’re having a little party in your mouth?

Why do some foods go POP when you make or eat them, like popcorn or popping candy? What's making all that fun noise?

Join us and learn about the science behind how some of your favorite foods are made and how ingredients chemically interact to give us the foods we love to eat. This is a super fun class that is part chemistry and part cooking. This hands-on class is great for kids who are curious, love to learn, and have an interest in cooking and helping in the kitchen.
