Ever wonder what makes cakes so fluffy? The Science History Institute will help you find the answer with this experimental science class!
About the class: How do your baked goods get that delightfully soft texture (and taste)? Find out in this exploration of the history and chemistry of the ingredients that make your food rise to the occasion–and you’ll even try your own “balloon race” experiment as you test different mixtures of yeast and sugar to give your food flight. And along the way, you’ll examine ancient processes of leavening, see modern mass production techniques, and meet founders of contemporary food science. Join the Science History Institute for what just might be the greatest class since sliced bread.
