ABSTRACT
In France, culinary lessons were once given at primary school and in high schools for girls, but these courses disappeared from the French curriculum in the 1970s. The Flavour Experimental Workshops were intended to introduce both enlightening cooking activities and experimental science. The experimental protocols and instructional materials of the document entitled “Flavour Experimental Workshops” describe experiments that can be performed by children at school under the guidance of any adult. The workshops relate to an artistic activity, through which they reveal the technical aspect. Each activity includes instructional objectives, a list of necessary materials and the experimental protocol, plus a detailed instructional discussion, which gives information to organize the workshops and to answer children’s questions. The use of a microscope reveals an unsuspected world, which explains the macroscopic world.
