Abstract
For chemistry teaching that emphasizes connections to the observable world, sixteen quick motivations that involve food are described, spanning many topics in a high school chemistry curriculum: measurement, naming, stoichiometry, distillation, periodic table, polarity, boiling point, rate of solution, catalysis, entropy, acids, redox, and organic compounds.
