Review quotes

"Dr. Hall has written an exciting book that provides easily replicable experiments that teach concepts, skills, and processes all from the comfort of your own kitchen! This very practical and creative approach to learning STEAM and the scientific method successfully employs active learning—no sit and watch me experiments. You will enjoy using this fun, educational, and authentic curriculum as a supplement to your child's education."—Dr. Cheri Toledo, PhD, EdD, EdS, Educational Technology

"I love this book! With science experiments you can really eat—grouped into chapters focused on science, technology, engineering, art, and math—children learn investigative skills, the scientific method, and kitchen safety while creating treats for their friends and families. I particularly love the treatment of the kitchen as a laboratory and the 'hypothesis, observations, and results' approach to data collection for each experiment/recipe. Dr. Hall has created a wonderful treat for children and parents alike!"—Katherine Bassett, CEO, Tall Poppy, LLC

"This book opens the world of food making and science to kids. Doing the activities promotes conversations and cooperation between parents and children. Together they learn skills and methods that cooks, scientists, and engineers use. These include safety and hygiene, making sure that experiences are fun, engaging, safe, and tasty."—John Olson, science education specialist, Minnesota Department of Education

"Awesome Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids is a must for anyone interested in the science of food. Get your kids learning and experimenting with everything from Bioluminescence to Solar-Powered S'Mores. In my 20 years as a science/STEAM specialist, I have never seen a book like this. Be prepared to think like a scientist and create like an engineer."—Ann Pelletier, science/STEAM specialist, St. Paul Public Schools
