Kitchen Science Lab for Kids

By using day to day items from their own home kids can work through 52 experiments that are designed to teach scientific principles. Each experiment has photo illustrated step by step instructions that help kids explore microbiology, rocket science, physics and so much more! From growing their own microbe zoo on a petri plate to launching bottle rockets, this book of experiments is sure to keep them interested. Also included are tips for keeping a science journal as well as explanations for the science behind the fun. 

The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus—all authored by established experts in their fields.

Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels.
