More Science Experiments You Can Eat

If you've got a kitchen, you can make science, with the easy edible experiments contained in this book. Cobb points out that an ordinary kitchen has all the same necessary equipment as a basic laboratory: materials, equipment, water, a heat source and refrigeration.The text and experiments are set up to help kids learn the hows and whys of scientific experimentation. The experiments include making cheese, studying food additives, methods of food preservation and the effects of freezing and thawing.After reading the book, I was itching to try some of the experiments myself, particularly the ones for making homemade cheese and bootleg Coca-Cola®.
