*received for free from netgalley for honest review* What a cool book！ perfect for summer imo， gives kids fun edible things to do with easy to follow instruction

Erica ，

This was fun！ my kids enjoyed the experiments we decided to complete。 I may pick it up again sometime and do some more。 also its nice to keep in mind to build in some of these in the curriculum your child is already learning to impart a deeper meaning。

Well defined and experiment driven kitchen science book for kids。 This is not deep science， but the book is for kids after all。 What is really nice are the portions for the kids to write down their observations and the space set aside where questions are asked about what the kids leaned。 Best of all you get to eat your lab work。

Cross curricular experiments Full of lots of educational science experiments。 The experience are cross curricular， including mathematics， science and food technology。 The experiments are adaptable to home and the classroom。 The first experiment （with lemonade） is similar to one I did when I was in year 6。

Thank you， NetGalley， for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review！ This review reflects my personal opinion。This book is perfect during our time of social distancing！！！ The experiments are a fun way to keep the kids occupied。 All experiments are edible。 Some are more challenging than others， but they are all still easy to do。 The book starts with some "how to use" instructions and finishes with some great resources for additional fun or information。 It also contains a "Mess-o-M Thank you， NetGalley， for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review！ This review reflects my personal opinion。This book is perfect during our time of social distancing！！！ The experiments are a fun way to keep the kids occupied。 All experiments are edible。 Some are more challenging than others， but they are all still easy to do。 The book starts with some "how to use" instructions and finishes with some great resources for additional fun or information。 It also contains a "Mess-o-Meter" letting you know if an experiment will get dishes and countertops messy/sticky or if the experiment involves strange smells。 My favorite note in this part of the book was: "If your experiment doesn't go as planned， that's okay！ Even failed experiments are educational--and sometimes lead to exciting surprises！" I love that because the kids won't be disappointed when an experiment doesn't turn out the way they thought and they might actually see something that is unusual in the experiment。Each experiments is structured the same way: （1） a note about how much adult prep is needed and if anything needs to be chopped or heated， so adults can help， （2） a fun scientific fact about what they are about to experience， （3） the tools， ingredients， and steps， （4） the how and why relating to the experiment， （5） how the experiments is connected to STEAM， and last but not least a "Turn it up！" which is a way to make the experiment more challenging for older kids or kids who have mastered the easier level and want to try it again。 Each experiment also includes a hypothesis sheet where the kids explain what they expect to happen， what really happened， and what they have learned。The experiments are divided into the different STEAM subjects。 In Science， the experiments include building （and burning） edible candles or making homemade pizza （learning about gluten）。 In Technology， the kids make DNA Extraction Smoothies or learn about molecular gastronomy。 In Engineering， the experiments include a fun pineapple experiment where the kids learn why you shouldn't add fresh pineapple to jello， the kids make macaroons that teach them egg foam science and solar-powered s'mores。 How fun is that？？？？ In the Art chapter， the kids learn about whether the shape of pasta makes a difference when dyeing pasta or they make potato people。 In Mathematics， the fun experiments include a fun experiment with Godzilla Gummies teaching them about osmosis or learn about the pH of lemonade。 The book contains so many fun experiments that the kids will not get bored during a pandemic quarantine！ Great job， Dr。 Hall！ I will definitely recommend this book to other parents！！ 。。。more

This book is so cool！ It's packed with fun recipes， and each one actually makes connections to STEAM concepts。 Chapters 3-7 each focus on a different concept--Science， Math， Engineering， Art， Technology。 Every recipe/activity/experiment includes level of difficulty， mess-o-meter， best eaten for （snack， lunch， etc。）， prep time， full time， yield， and a connection between the activity and the scientific method。 There are even spaces for kids to write down hypotheses， observations， and conclusions！ This book is so cool！ It's packed with fun recipes， and each one actually makes connections to STEAM concepts。 Chapters 3-7 each focus on a different concept--Science， Math， Engineering， Art， Technology。 Every recipe/activity/experiment includes level of difficulty， mess-o-meter， best eaten for （snack， lunch， etc。）， prep time， full time， yield， and a connection between the activity and the scientific method。 There are even spaces for kids to write down hypotheses， observations， and conclusions！ This is a fun， educational book that would be a great addition to a classroom or library collection， and it's perfect for kids who like to explore and learn。 I received a free copy of this book， but that did not influence my review。 。。。more

This was an awesome book full of wonderful experiments that are perfect for a classroom or for at home。 I work in a Life Skills classroom at a middle school and have found several experiments that we are going to try this school year。 I also love that they are edible， so the food used isn't being wasted！ This was an awesome book full of wonderful experiments that are perfect for a classroom or for at home。 I work in a Life Skills classroom at a middle school and have found several experiments that we are going to try this school year。 I also love that they are edible， so the food used isn't being wasted！ 。。。more

This is my first look at the "Awesome 。。。 for Kids" series。 I love the idea of kids making things in the kitchen that are edible and fun while learning science through STEAM。 This is a highly intensive book for parents （or the instructor） to do with the kids。 Some experiments are more complex than others and may require time and resources to get together the necessary items。 Be prepared to clean up after！The book is marketed for grades K-5。 I do not think a five year old could understand most of This is my first look at the "Awesome 。。。 for Kids" series。 I love the idea of kids making things in the kitchen that are edible and fun while learning science through STEAM。 This is a highly intensive book for parents （or the instructor） to do with the kids。 Some experiments are more complex than others and may require time and resources to get together the necessary items。 Be prepared to clean up after！The book is marketed for grades K-5。 I do not think a five year old could understand most of what is going on and answer all of the questions。 I would highly recommend this book for homeschooling families。 This is definitely something where older and younger kids could work together and learn side by side with younger siblings taking cues from their older siblings。 A homeschooling co-op is another good option to involve a larger group。 I homeschooled my kids and could see myself picking and choosing a few of these experiments to try with them to supplement their required science curriculum。I received a complimentary copy of this book from Callisto Publishers/Rockridge Press and was under no obligation to post a review。 。。。more

I received a copy of Awesome Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids via the publisher。 I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given。This project book is separated into different sections， each of which represents a different part of the STEAM philosophy: Science， Technology， Engineering， Art， and Mathematics。 The author approaches the experiments using the scientific method， giving leading questions for children to arrive at a hypothesis， observations， and results。 I received a copy of Awesome Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids via the publisher。 I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given。This project book is separated into different sections， each of which represents a different part of the STEAM philosophy: Science， Technology， Engineering， Art， and Mathematics。 The author approaches the experiments using the scientific method， giving leading questions for children to arrive at a hypothesis， observations， and results。 This will help kids to learn how to formulate their thoughts in recognizable scientific ways， which will help them immeasurably when it comes to the mandatory science fair projects in grade school。The book starts out with the do's and don'ts， explanations about the scientific method， and the tools needed for the experiments。 With 50 projects to choose from throughout the pages， children and parents will enjoy sampling the finished products。 Awesome Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids is a worthwhile family activity and one that I would recommend。Each experiment lists the particulars， like level of difficulty， prep time， yield， as well as others。 Each has a question， cautions， a list of steps， ingredients， the STEAM connection， and tools。 My favorite section of each is a box with the Hows and Whys， as this explains the science behind the experiment。 Some are definitely more difficult than others， needing more adult assistance and supervision。 For example， Kneading To Breathe: Yeast Bread is much more complicated than Dueling Domes: Geodesic Gumdrop Designs。The biggest takeaways that children will have with Awesome Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids are the fact that science is everywhere around us and that it can be fun to experiment。 FYI for parents: there are great recipes in here， from Homemade Pizza to Fluffy Baked Pancakes。 Not only will Awesome Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids spark an interest in science， it will also foster an inspiration for creating edible delights。 。。。more

I received a free book from the publisher - but this book definitely delivers on expectations。 Science is so important for kids to conceptualize ideas from early on。 This book will provide hands on experience through the experiments and facts to support learning。
