Amazing Kitchen Chemistry Projects You Can Build Yourself

"Chemistry experiments in the kitchen! From mysterious oobleck to soda rockets, this book is the greatest fun. I can’t wait to try some of these experiments. The grandchildren? They will have to wait."
—Roald Hoffmann, 1981 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry

"I wish I had grown up with this book! I know it would have peaked the curiosity of my own, now-grown boys."
—Stephen S. Bates, PhD, Research Scientist, Toxic Phytoplankton, Fisheries and Oceans Canada

"When young people actually put their hands on scientific projects, they realize how much fun science really is."
—Peter Agre, M.D., 2003 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry

"Learning about the world of chemistry is fun and exciting for the whole family in Amazing Kitchen Chemistry Projects You Can Build Yourself. If you know someone interested in chemistry, this is a book they will love."
—Mike Young, Fifth Grade Teacher, Pittsburgh, PA winner of the
National Science Foundation’s Teacher of the Year award

"These intriguing projects give children practice in doing something to change the world (adding different ingredients, heating or cooling, mixing—we scientists call this “doing an experiment”), seeing what happens (“observing carefully”), and playing around (“testing variables”). And even better, it’s safe—no toxic chemicals or special equipment needed beyond what’s found in a kitchen and grocery store."
—Anne Hall, Associate Research Scientist, Lovelace Respiratory
Research Institute, and former science teacher

"…This tidy kid-friendly book is crammed with activities and information on chemistry ... Lots of science information is mixed with the how-to of the projects and there is hardly a blank space on a page anywhere in the book. ...Sidebars on related topics, small factoids that tie to the subject fill each chapter to the tippy top...A very nicely done and reasonably priced collection."
—Gwynne Spencer , Children’s Literature Fall 2008
