Description
What a fun way to get kids excited about chemistry! This book is full of projects, recipes, and colorful pictures to show firsthand how chemistry is found everywhere in the kitchen. An introduction covers some chemistry basics and then the five chapters cover: chemicals in our food, cooking as a chemical reaction, nutrition, flavors, and texture. Each chapter begins with text information to read, along with quick facts, diagrams, photos, or QR codes for videos and demonstrations. Each chapter ends with several "Inquire and Investigate" experiments to complete to explore the topic. For example, in the chapter on cooking as a chemical reaction, students will carmelize sugar, carmelize carrots, make lemon curd, bake cookies at different temperatures and more. This could be used as a nice primer into the world of chemistry for younger kids, or as an engaging chemistry supplement for older teens. Beginning pages provide a helpful chemistry timeline and a bright, double-page spread with the periodic table of elements. 128 pgs, pb. ~Nancie
