Synopsis

With more than 60 fun, food-related activities, science meets snack time in the most engaging way!

The kitchen can be an amazing laboratory for adventurous kids. Using safe, common kitchen equipment such as mixing bowls and a microwave, young chefs can experiment with food—and make some tasty snacks.

Every experiment starts with a hypothesis. The experiments in this book ask kids to guess from three options what will happen next.

Using kitchen staples such as flour, milk, cheese, and fruit, kids will learn the why behind the ways in which food transforms—melting, hardening, changing form and flavor. The secrets behind these transformations are explained in detail. After experimenting, kids can enjoy their concoctions!
