Something's Rotten

Why does food spoil? Tour our bilingual feature exhibit from Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, A Taste of Science, and discover why food decays and strategies to slow down the process. Hands-on activities look at the good and bad effects of germs, compare how different types of packaging extend the shelf-life of food, and use scientific research processes to investigate how decomposers like mushrooms break down food. Search the Lambton Gallery for artifacts related to food decay and preservation and make connections between science and everyday life in the past and present. 

Available from May to October, 2025
