Here's a yummy book of experiments for would-be scientists! Composed of scientific ideas to do with food, this book will make an addictive addition to your child's collection. Of course, since we're working with food and some cooking, adult supervision is required. Encourage your child to never stop learning.

"Young scientists can learn about different scientific principles and properties using everyday tools and ingredients from their kitchen. Make a lemon volcano, flour craters, edible paper, and more with these hands-on science projects"--

"Whether you want to learn the magic of chemistry, the speed of color, the basics of earth science, or the effects of structural engineering, food is a great way to explore all of this and more. Each experiment uses edible ingredients to reveal the properties of the foods we eat every day. Using the acid in vinegar to dissolve egg shells, baking soda to make The Best Fizzy Lemonade, or boiling water to make Ice Cubes in a Flash, each project helps...

Experience kitchen chemistry and the wonders of food science. Host Susan Turgeson (2009 AAFCS Nat'l Teacher of the Year) and students demonstrate six fun and easy food science experiments that can be conducted in any kitchen, while explaining the science behind them. Chaptered into segments, experimemts include: Emulsions, Fermentation, Scientific Method, Hand Washing and Food Safety, Biochemistry of Milk & Sensory Evaluation. Also includes an interview...

"Grab a beaker, pick up your whisk, and get ready to cook up some solid science. Using food as our tools (or ingredients!) curious kids become saucy scientists that measure, weigh, combine, and craft their way through the kitchen. Discover dozens of thoroughly-tested, fun, edible experiments, sprinkled with helpful photos, diagrams, scientific facts, sub-experiments, and more. And the best news is when all the mad-science is done, you're invited to...
