FOOD CHEMISTRY – 7162

Humans need to eat food to survive, but how often do we take time to consider where our food came from, how chemistry plays a role in the way we cook it, or how the types of food we put into our body impact our health and wellness? Using the fields of chemistry, sustainability, and nutrition this course will allow students to discover the science and health benefits behind how we grow and cook our food. By the end of the class, students will learn how to conduct research, create an experiment, analyze data, and write a college-level lab report while at the same time learning how science principles are used to prepare nutritious meals to improve your overall health and wellness. As part of this course, we will also conduct a lab associated with UW-Milwaukee and present our research posters at the UW-Milwaukee Science Education Research Conference. 

Prerequisite: College-Prep Biology or Accelerated Biology; Chemistry or Honors Chemistry recommended
Grades: 10, 11, and 12
