Instructor:  Margaret Liberti-Wiegert

Margaret Liberti grew up in the kitchen with her Papa (Dad), and in his pizzeria!  Food has always been her passion, and as she went through school, science became an additional passion. Margaret has been a biology/chemistry teacher and taught at a local SUNY for over a decade. Teaching science has always been Margaret’s professional passion, while cooking has been her personal passion. She now can share her two passions- and The Science Chef was born!

The Science Chef Workshops
The Science Chef is glad to bring two fun concepts together: science and food!  For children, we are bringing a love for science and food together with fun, hands-on activities that bring each themed class together for an engaging (and tasty)! lesson in STEM.

Grades K-5

New Classes 

What’s in a Mineral?
Learn about minerals and how they are composed. Break open your own geode and take it home!

Speedy Chemistry
In this fun exploration of chemical reactions, children will learn about factors that affect the speed of their experiments. Metal will oxidize before their eyes and they will use salt to investigate catalysts.  Each student will prepare a chemical reaction of their own:  Making soft pretzels to finish and bake at home.
