Laboratory education is founded on the principle that students learn best through hands-on learning, problem
solving, and application of curriculum to their lived experience. What better way to students? minds and hearts
then, than through cooking? This laboratory helps students learn plant anatomy by looking at botany through a
culinary lens. These activities can be done in lab or at home in a modified format and could be done as one lab or
parsed out across the semester to enhance other investigations. Students have found this an engaging way to
make new terminology and concepts more concrete, as it builds on students? skills in their at-home laboratory,
the kitchen, and leverages their appetite to learn.
