What’s on Your Plate? Exploring Food Science is a comprehensive curriculum set with hands-on experiments—some of which learners can eat as they discover the science behind food preparation. Youth learn the building blocks of food science using chemistry, biology, and physics in a “kitchen laboratory” setting. Learn why and how things happen in breads, muffins, eggs, fruit, vegetables, cheese, candy, and beverages. Conduct food experiments, collect and analyze data, practice sensory science (tasting), and investigate career opportunities. Each unit contains three activities for beginner through advanced learners, but is written for youth in grades 6-9.

This set of 8 books includes the Youth Science Journals and Facilitator Guides for all four levels of the curriculum series. Both the Facilitator Guides and Youth Science Journals are necessary for completing the activities.
