Wearing hair nets and safety glasses, Battle Creek area high school students were sampling Rice Krispies. Moments earlier the students learned from Noe Rizo, an engineer at the W.K. Kellogg Institute for Food and Nutrition Research, about puffed rice and how the Kellogg Co. makes the cereal.
The Battle Creek Enquirer reports the demonstration on how heat is used to puff rice was one stop for about 60 students attending a career day to show them practical applications for their math and science studies.
Excerpt:
"This exposes students to the food sciences," said Scott Hanson, a teacher at the Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center. "They know math and chemistry and biology but they don't always know about a practical application."
