I bet you didn't know you can eat science experiments! Well, you can, if you follow the procedures for the ones listed in this book. When you think of science experiments, you tend to think in terms of laboratories, test tubes and icky-smelling chemicals --- but a kitchen can also be used as a lab. Your baking dishes become your test tubes and the ingredients you put in them are the chemicals.Measuring ingredients, mixing them together and cooking them is also science. Science involves measurements and procedures and observations. It also involves chemical changes and reactions that take place when the ingredients are mixed and/or cooked in certain ways. That's what this book is all about.Author Vicki Cobb explains the processes behind each experiment in a manner that is both fun and easy to read and understand. The book is filled with helpful illustrations and diagrams. By following the procedures for each experiment, you will learn basic physics, chemistry and biology.I loved this book! It's filled with kid-friendly experiments and the finished products are something kids would really want to eat. Most of the experiments are simple, but some are more complicated than others. Even so, Cobb breaks each one down into easy-to-understand steps and processes. She makes the idea of being a scientist, even in the kitchen, sound like a lot of fun.There are tons of great experiments in this book. I think most of them would work well for science fair projects.So, grab your bowls and pans, measure out your ingredients, heat up your ovens and go have some fun!Reviewed by Christine M. Irvin
