PHY 2220 - Physics of Food and Cooking (3)


When Offered: On Demand
GEN ED: Liberal Studies Experience
This course will explore the scientific concepts that underlie everyday cooking, including how to heat and cool food, which foods have greater impacts to climate change, and how to cook passively and with solar energy. Students will conduct culinary experiments to compare various cooking strategies and food choices. Cooking brings physics to life and should transform the way students view their food system.
