Science in the Kitchen: 10 Fun Projects Using Food

Combine fun in the kitchen with science in this book of 10 experiments and projects. From making pastry to understanding sweet and sour, the projects take on science topics readers encounter in their own homes! Each experiment includes a Background section to explain the science topic at work, a list of materials, clear step-by-step instructions, and an Observations section to help young scientists understand what they've done. Several projects include science fair ideas and expanded versions of the experiment to engage readers further. A discussion of the scientific method and helpful glossary conclude the book.
