Synopsis

Cook up some science at home with Little Learning Labs: Kitchen Science for Kids. Conduct physics, chemistry, and biology experiments with tools and ingredients found in any kitchen.

The home provides an environment for freedom, creativity and invention—all important elements for great science. And you would never have guessed that science can be as easy as baking. It's simple, inexpensive, and fun to whip up amazing science experiments like straw rockets, green slime, and paper bag volcanoes using everyday ingredients.

In this abridged, paperback edition of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids, Little Learning Labs: Kitchen Science for Kids offers 26 fun science activities for families to do together. The experiments can be used as individual projects, for parties, or as educational activities for groups (perfect for Girl Scout Brownies looking to earn their Home Scientist badges). Many of the experiments are both safe enough for children as young as toddlers and exciting for older kids—fun for the whole family!

The popular Little Learning Labs series (based on the larger format Lab for Kids series) features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, geology, math, and even bugs—all authored by established experts in their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Little Learning Labs.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Liz Lee Heinecke has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. After working in molecular biology research for ten years and getting her master’s degree, she left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, journaling their science adventures on her KitchenPantryScientist website. Her desire to spread her enthusiasm for science to others soon led to a regular segment on her local NBC affiliate, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app, with the goal of making it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. You can find her at home in Minnesota, wrangling her kids, writing for her website, updating the KidScience app, teaching microbiology to nursing students, singing, playing banjo, painting, running, and doing almost anything else to avoid housework. Liz graduated from Luther College and received her master’s degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
