Kitchen Science is a collection of 30 STEM-themed activities for children, making use of everyday materials found in the kitchen. Forget about sterile laboratories and stuffy classrooms, there are oodles of awesome science experiments waiting to be done, right under your nose – in the kitchen! Learn about how microwaves work, why honeycomb is full of bubbles, how to make plastic out of milk and much more. With the added bonus of making some yummy treats as part of some experiments, what’s not to love? Ideal for parents/carers who have experienced home-schooling fatigue and cupboard-raiding children who want to inject some practical fun into their learning, this book provides an accessible and stimulating way to explore STEM themes at home. Each experiment is accompanied by an illustrated explanation of the science behind it and how it works.
