The Chemistry of Coffee
The Chemistry of Coffee is a chemistry module to take you from green bean to perfectly roasted cup of magical coffee! We will learn about pH, solutions, dilution, data collection, variable manipulation and much more.
The project will culminate in "The Coffee Cup", a blind tasting competition pitting your perfectly roasted coffee against your classmates. The winners will be crowned the Master Roasters and will live in infamy for the rest of their lives!
