My 9 year old daughter loves to cook – and she loves to read about cooking. I discovered the coolest website that takes a look at the science of cooking in a fresh, interactive, and fun way – perfect for kids of all ages. The Science of Cooking features recipes, activities, and Webcasts that make the science behind food and cooking fun.

You can see the molecular make up of sugar, try out the Candy-o-matic, find out how gluten forms and its role in making bread, and so much more!

The Science of Cooking is part of Exploratorium – the museum of science, art and human perception in San Francisco, CA. The entire site is full of great educational subsites and activities.
