Event Details

Food is fuel! Food provides the energy, measured in calories, that our bodies need to function. In this class, students grades 4-12 will burn calories (literally!) using controlled flames and authentic scientific procedures to measure the energy content of various foods. Topics include nutrition, health, chemistry, mathematics and lab safety. Note: This class includes use of small open flames.

This event is provided through a grant from Bay Area Hospital Community Foundation.

PLEASE NOTE event location: 450 Elrod Ave.
