Chemistry CHAOS Night: A Unique Opportunity to Explore the Chemistry of Food and Cooking with Adventurous Scientists

Join Texas Lutheran University for a night of delicious fun at their annual Chemistry CHAOS Night. This event, which stands for Chemistry Happens with Adventurous Outstanding Scientists, promises to be an exciting exploration of the wonders of chemistry in new and engaging ways.

This year’s theme is The Chemistry of Food and Cooking, with activities designed to capture the imagination of participants of all ages. 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. 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.

Chemistry CHAOS will feature 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 Jackson Park’s Student Activities Center today. The event is free for the public to attend and is hosted by TLU’s Pi Rho Chemistry Club. Come join us for this unique opportunity to explore the exciting world of food and cooking science!
