With a pinch of science, a dash of inspiration and a dollop of fun, Modern Art Oxford have all the ingredients for cool kitchen chemistry at the Museum of Oxford! Join Science Oxford in this tasty, family-friendly workshop and explore what makes bread rise or beer bubbly, and who can make yeast grow the fastest in their own mini ‘Bake Off’. Discover colour-changing red cabbage chemistry using acids and alkalis; or, find out why cakes rise while making a fizzy mess! Test and make predictions for Egg-cellent experiments, or create crazy flour mixtures and make ‘Oobleck’ Slime to take home. On your marks, Get ready… Bake!
