Snackable Science Experiments: 60 Edible Tests to Try and Taste

Description

Now, kids can have a snack while learning a thing or two about science with Emma Vanstone's edible science experiments. Curious kids will learn about liquid density by making layered popsicles, simulate how earthquakes affect buildings on different kinds of foundations using Jell-O and brownies and give their engineering skills a go by building bridges out of egg shells. Parents can rest easy knowing that their kids are learning and indulging their inquisitive natures using safe materials. Each experiment investigates and explains a different scientific principle using ingredients found right in your kitchen. And the best part is that after kids have built up an appetite exercising their scientific muscles, they will already have a snack just waiting to be eaten. Vanstone is the creator of the award-winning blog Science Sparks, which has over 334k followers on social media. She is also the author of This Is Rocket Science. This book features 60 experiments and 75+ photos.

"Emma makes science easy and fun! This is a wonderful new book to get kids thinking about science whilst doing what they love best: making and eating treats." --Maggy Woodley, founder of Red Ted Art "What better way to learn about cells, plate tectonics, freezing point depression and more than to spend an afternoon cooking, learning and snacking on the results? I can't wait to share it with my kids!" --Ana Dziengel, founder of Babble Dabble Do and author of STEAM Play & Learn "This is not your average science experiment book. It's hands-on science presented in a unique and fun way--with food you can eat!" --Trisha Stanley, founder of Inspiration Laboratories
