Science Experiments with Food

November 1, 2013

K-Gr 3-Prefaced by boilerplate on the scientific method and a complete list of easily available ingredients, the 9 to 11 new science demonstrations in each volume of this follow-up set to ABDO's "Super Simple Science" series offer clear directions, color photos (often of containers with visible brands), and lucid explanations of the scientific principles or processes involved. Though the lack of leads to further resources or additional experiments make these books less useful than other collections, such as Bearport's "Fun-damental Experiments," they do include such popular standbys as a lemon-powered lightbulb in Food, play with a laser pointer in Light, and "rubber" egg and green slime experiments in Liquid.
