| Don't let the title fool you; this is not a science class. We will be making and eating many foods.

Objectives: 1. The student will learn the importance of correct measuring techniques. 2. The student will understand how to run an experiment using variables and controls. 3. The student will understand how cooking and baking times affect the quality of food. 4. The student will learn how to draw conclusions from food experiments.
