Experiement with Kitchen Science

*Disclosure of material connection- I received a copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest thoughts. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions stated are 100% my own. 

About the book-

Science isn’t limited to the classroom—it can be cooked up in the kitchen! This photographic book of experiments and projects covers covers chemical reactions, states of matter, microbiology, and much more– all with ingredients and equipment that can be found in the kitchen.

The STEAM Ahead series shows readers that science isn’t limited to the classroom—it can be found out in the garden, cooked up in the kitchen, and brought to life with paper and paints! Each book features clear, step-by-step instructions and has a fresh, contemporary design, with an emphasis on fun, achievable experiments to give kids hands-on experiences. The science behind each experiment is explained, giving readers the theory behind the practical activities. 

My thoughts-

I am always looking for ways to bring more education into our home. It is great when kids learn when they are having hands on fun because that will stay with them longer than sitting in a classroom and just hearing or writing something. My kids are getting a little older now, but I think even at 10 my boys would enjoy these kitchen experients. I like that most of the experiments use stuff you would already find in your kitchen so you don't have to go out and buy anything special or spend a lot of money. I also like the set up of the pages of the book with the pictures and explinations making it easy for older kids to conduct these expirements independently. They are also not so complicated that younger kids couldn't do them with a little help from an adult. I recommend this book to anyone who has kids 10 and under who enjoy science or other hands on activities.
