Experiment with Kitchen Science: Fun projects to try at home (STEAM Ahead)

I am always looking for new experiments to do with my children and this one caught my eye when it said kitchen science. I found the experiments readily available because most.ingredients I already had. With each experiment, the pages were laid out with the ingredients, the steps and pictures of how the experiment would look or proceed. There were also full descriptions on the way behind the science, which allowed myself to understand and then to explain the process or the way myself. Thank you to NetGalley and QEB Publishing for an advanced copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions are my own!

Experiment with Kitchen Science is one of those cool STEAM based books I really wish I'd had as a science obsessed kid when I was growing up. Released 17th Sept 2019 from Quarto on their QEB imprint, it's 80 pages and available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats.Author Nick Arnold (the guy behind the Horrible Science and Wild Lives series) writes humorously and appealingly for younger readers. The physics and chemistry lessons he presents are wonderfully gooey, cool, sticky, and grounded in real science. The messy bits are highlighted with sidebar warnings (food colouring stains!, get an adult's help!, etc).The book has a graphically appealing layout, with experiments grouped together in chapters: mad mixtures, floating and forces, colourful chemistry, heating and eating, easy freezy!, ending with a short glossary and index. The experiments themselves include a materials sidebar, step by step instructions, a short description of the concept(s) involved and bright colorful graphics and inset photography.As an aside, the spelling, terminology, and slang in the book are British. There's no problem in context, but readers from other areas (the USA) should be aware of some differences (torch, washing up liquid, sticky tack, fizzy lemonade). The book is well worth the negligible potential hassle of remembering that torch means flashlight and not a flaming firebrand (which could be quite spectacular in this context).Well written and appealing. This would be a great book to use for primary to middle grade kids in a classroom context. It would also make a great weekend activity book for parents and kids to do together. I could see some of these being great library workshop or camp type activities.Five stars. Good stuff here.Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

QEB Publishing and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Experiment with Kitchen Science. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.This book is part of the STEAM Ahead series, which is comprised of fun experiments that shows kids that science exists outside of the classroom. Experiment with Kitchen Science is separated into chapters like Mad Mixtures, Floating and Forces, Colourful Chemistry, Heating and Eating, and Easy Freezy. The brightly colored pages are very inviting and includes information about the science (chemistry) that is happening in each chapter. The author has included safety rules, which reminded me of the contract that I had to sign in high school chemistry class. This book, however, is geared toward younger readers. Parents will have fun with their children, teaching and learning about how accessible science can be for everyone.Experiment with Kitchen Science is a lot of fun, as there is a good mixture of edible experiments and interesting ones. I could see this book being used during a family activity night, as it is a great way of getting kids excited about science.

Bring science directly into your kitchen with thirty “Kitchen Science” experiments that will teach your little scientist about chemistry, heat, cold, liquids, solids, and much more. With chapter sections on Mad Mixtures, Floating and Forces, Heating and Eating, Colorful Chemistry, and Easy Freezy along with a Glossary of terms, you and your budding scientist will be cooking up experiments in no time. Science becomes even more exciting when it is edible. With science experiments that include: homemade pizza, scientific ice cream, caramel, baked ice cream, potato moons, and butter, everyone will be ready to get in the kitchen. With full-color photos, step by step instructions complete with illustrations, and the science behind each experiment. This book is a great book to keep things fun and exciting.

This book is a must for satisfying the interest of curious children who crave interactive projects/experiments. It is also a good book for the adult because the projects are simple and concise and use everyday materials.There are five chapters: Mad Mixtures, Floating and Forces, Colourful Chemistry, Heating and Eating and Easy Freezy! Plus a Glossary.You can enjoy making a massive marshmallow, a crazy lemon volcano and some milky marvels to entertain, impress and teach the children. I think the adults just might experience a little fun along the way as will.I suggest purchasing a hard copy of this book because you’ll want it open in your kitchen counter as you create.

My niece loves this book!!! It has her so excited about science, which it great! Lots of fun experiments! So glad I bought it for her!
