Product Description
Incredible Edible
Experiments Ever wonder what makes popcorn pop? why cakes rise? how jelly gels?Your kitchen will be transformed into a laboratory worthy of a mad scientist as you make startling discoveries about how cabbage can detect acid, how bacteria makes yogurt, and how decomposed sugar turns to caramel. Then after a long day at the lab you can relax and eat your results: soup, biscuits, pretzels, cupcakes, or cookies. Vicki Cobb's seminal book has been revised and updated to encompass advances in modern technology but still provides what all kids want: a legitimate excuse to play with their food!

 Kitchen Chemistry at its best July 25, 2001

I've had fun with this book as a teacher in my own classroom, as a parent and grandparent in my own kitchen, and best of all as a substitute teacher using it for filler in high school chemistry classes and sometimes wowing advanced chemistry students with how much I know for "just being a mommy." My kids have more vivd memories of this book than they do of video games.

We discovered the original 1974 version of this book in our school library. After a quick perusal, we realized it was a fantastically fun way to teach kids science. The kids love the experiments and they are so easy to follow. Now, we use it everyday in our lesson planning in order to teach the scientific method. What a great way to use all five senses to make learning fun and real-world applicable!
Great science activities December 25, 2007

I have done three of these experiments with my kids so far, and we love this book. The experiments are simple, and most things we already have, the rest I can easily get. My son did find a few facts in the book that were wrong, but that may be because the copyright was 1994, and it may be behind by now. To me, that just gives us opportunity to look it up and find how far we've come in 14 years. I am sure we will get a lot out of this book: knowlege, fun, memories, and snacks!

This book is great for introducing various science concepts to children, and has many recipes that can be used and then eaten! Includes muffins, jell-o, rock candy, and more.

What a great way to teach science. Children learn best when they can relate to what they are learning and they can relate to most food. Tell them, they forget; show them they remember; but once they've made it and eaten it they will understand(paraphrase of a chinese proverb). I consider this a significant book in our collection for teachers and future teachers.
