Why does pizza crust have holes? How does cheese form from milk?
How do you break down food into the fuel your body needs?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen ... some of the ingredients of pizza?
Join us at the 2007 Harvard Holiday Science Lecture as we observe, touch, taste, and explore some of your favorite foods. Kids, families, students, teachers and the curious are welcome! You'll discover the physics, chemistry and biology of cheese and bread, look at them under a microscope, taste the cheese we make (yum!), and learn about digestion (yuck!). Using live experiments and interactive demonstrations with children from the audience, we will investigate the wonders of pizza. Come and be a scientist with us! Recommended for ages 7 and up.
For guaranteed seating, please register online using this form.
