Texas Lutheran University’s annual Chemistry CHAOS Night is back with a new theme and a promise of exciting, hands-on fun. The event, which stands for Chemistry Happens with Adventurous Outstanding Scientists, is all about exploring the wonders of chemistry in innovative ways.
The theme for this year’s event is “The Chemistry of Food and Cooking,” and it promises to be a night full of activities designed to engage participants of all ages. Dr. Alison Bray, professor and chair of the chemistry department at TLU, emphasizes the importance of understanding the processes that occur in the world of food and cooking. She believes that by learning about these processes, we can create new and innovative dishes that are both delicious and healthy.
Kids will have the chance to learn about the science behind everyday foods through hands-on experiments that may not be safe to try at home. Attendees can expect to participate in a variety of activities, including making biopolymers in the form of rice paper sushi wraps, conducting candy chromatography, and tasting liquid nitrogen ice cream. The event is open to kids from kindergarten through high school, as well as those young at heart who are interested in learning more about the science of food and cooking.
Chemistry CHAOS will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Jackson Park’s Student Activities Center today. The event, hosted by TLU’s Pi Rho Chemistry Club
