Varied and engaging mixture (pun intended) of primary-leaning home experiments.
I wish we'd got this a few months ago, to include this as the Science portion of our home learning in lockdown. It's a slim-looking volume but chock-full of wonderful experiments you can conduct as a family - at home and with pretty much regular kitchen contents.
This has engaged both my 9-year-old (at whom it is aimed) and his 3-year-old brother, for whom the science is a little much, but the colours, mixing and strange bubbles and kitchen antics are very entertaining.
Separated (oh these science puns just write themselves) into logical sections, there are 30 experiments that are sure to contain something you fancy trying yourself, and that your kids will be desperate to make or do.
Sections are:
Mad Mixtures
Floating and Forces
Colourful Chemistry
Heating and Eating
Easy Freezy
If the humorous chapters seem familiar, that might be because Nick Arnold the author also wrote the Horrid Science books. While these are not the chatty and comic-full books of that series, his light touch and use of language that Key Stage 2 pupils can access will put the science of these engaging investigations in context.
So far, we've tried the Volcanic Rock (honeycomb toffee - yum yum!!! So easy!!!) and making a Vortex/Tornado in a Bottle. Both only took a few minutes, very little in the way of ingredients, and my 9-year-old was able to do this himself (bar the hot stove for the toffee/rock).
The selection of experiments is great - making a giant sweet, caramel, your own ice cream. Colourful ice cubes, swimming raisins, water tricks, toys on toast. The experiments are very clear: clear in what is needed, clear instructions on what to do, with illustrations along the way. And some clear science at the end, once you've tried out your experiment the science behind it is revealed - a proper science lesson if your children are able to understand it.
There's a glossary at the end as well, plus index of course. Also 'mess warnings' for any potential heat/wet/food colouring stains likely - very useful for parents. And some 'did you know' science facts. It's an attractive but not text-overladen book. You could get a lot of science learning out of this, as well as some great family activities and food! Win win for everyone.
Though younger children will be able to look on and enjoy some of the observations, this is targeted at Key Stage 2, ages 7-11, most of whom could read the instructions themselves, though a parent is going to need to be on hand. Makes a lovely change having some science to try in the kitchen, and it's all very achievable and doesn't require very much you won't have.
Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys family activities that might sneak a bit of learning in along with the fun.
With grateful thanks to the publisher for providing a sample reading (and making) copy.

These experiments can be conducted in the kitchen, most are about food and drink, and a few of the experiments can even be consumed. Now, who can pass up being able to nibble on your own creations?
There are five chapters and a glossary index.
Chapter 1: Mad Mixtures is about what happens when food and liquids are mixed or separated.
Chapter 2: Floating And Forces looks at the forces in liquids and how air affects how a mixture behaves.
Chapter 3: Colorful Chemistry gets to grips with kitchen chemicals such as detergents and acids.
Chapter 4: Heating And Eating checks how heating changes food, you’ll find out about moons, microbes, and volcanoes, too.
Chapter 5 Easy Freezy! proves that science doesn’t stop when the temperature drops. Freezing can be fun, too!
Each chapter has four to eight experiments under it. They are complete with colorful illustrations and numbered, easy to follow steps. I also like the fact that the things that are needed for the experiments are listed at the top of the page.
An example of one of the experiments is creating a whirling whirlpool. The ingredients are water, a plastic bottle, food coloring, and olive oil. As you see, things that most households will readily have available.
What Concerned Me:
I think the only thing little scientists might be concerned about is the fact that they want more experiments once they start using this entertaining book.
In my case, I was concerned that it didn’t have American measurements alongside the Canadian ones.
What I Liked Best:
The experiments are done with ingredients that most will have and they are very short and easy to understand, in most cases.

As a mom who's homeschooled for nearly 20 years I've read more than a few children's science experiment books. This one is colorful and fun, with relatively easy projects for younger kids. Some are edible, like making butter, giant candies and pizza, while others are done in the kitchen but are not to eat, like making big foamy bubbles in a blender, pulling a piece of shiny wrapping paper from under dishes on the table, and adding baking soda to grape juice to change the color.
Each experiment has a colorful photo and then hand drawn illustrations in color of the steps. Most are done with things easily found around the house. Most of the experiments are short term and many are ones you may have done with your kids in the past. A brief blurb about the science behind the results is provided for each. There are about 30 experiments total.
U.S. readers take note: this book uses metric measurements and British terms like washing up liquid, jellies and sticky tack. It's fairly easy to translate but is good to know in advance.
I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

A fascinating look behind the science of food we come across (and most likely eat) every day.
Excellent book! Really piqued my curiosity. Goes to show that science isn’t all just about facts and figures. A must-have for school libraries.
If it weren’t because of ingredients such as heavy cream or buttermilk, I would place a request with my local library for a copy. (Heavy cream in particular isn’t available where I live)

I love science experiments. These experiments were all easy, fun and we definitely learned a lot when doing them. We tried a few of the experiments and the kids were surprised at the outcomes.
While these were all messy they were fun and cleanup was easy.

This book is a must for satisfying the interest of curious children who crave interactive projects/experiments. It is also a good book for the adult because the projects are simple and concise and use everyday materials.
There are five chapters: Mad Mixtures, Floating and Forces, Colourful Chemistry, Heating and Eating and Easy Freezy! Plus a Glossary.
You can enjoy making a massive marshmallow, a crazy lemon volcano and some milky marvels to entertain, impress and teach the children. I think the adults just might experience a little fun along the way as will.
I suggest purchasing a hard copy of this book because you’ll want it open in your kitchen counter as you create.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Experiment with Kitchen Science is one of those cool STEAM based books I really wish I'd had as a science obsessed kid when I was growing up. Released 17th Sept 2019 from Quarto on their QEB imprint, it's 80 pages and available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats.
Author Nick Arnold (the guy behind the Horrible Science and Wild Lives series) writes humorously and appealingly for younger readers. The physics and chemistry lessons he presents are wonderfully gooey, cool, sticky, and grounded in real science. The messy bits are highlighted with sidebar warnings (food colouring stains!, get an adult's help!, etc).
The book has a graphically appealing layout, with experiments grouped together in chapters: mad mixtures, floating and forces, colourful chemistry, heating and eating, easy freezy!, ending with a short glossary and index. The experiments themselves include a materials sidebar, step by step instructions, a short description of the concept(s) involved and bright colorful graphics and inset photography.
As an aside, the spelling, terminology, and slang in the book are British. There's no problem in context, but readers from other areas (the USA) should be aware of some differences (torch, washing up liquid, sticky tack, fizzy lemonade). The book is well worth the negligible potential hassle of remembering that torch means flashlight and not a flaming firebrand (which could be quite spectacular in this context).
Well written and appealing. This would be a great book to use for primary to middle grade kids in a classroom context. It would also make a great weekend activity book for parents and kids to do together. I could see some of these being great library workshop or camp type activities.
Five stars. Good stuff here.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

QEB Publishing and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Experiment with Kitchen Science. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.
This book is part of the STEAM Ahead series, which is comprised of fun experiments that shows kids that science exists outside of the classroom. Experiment with Kitchen Science is separated into chapters like Mad Mixtures, Floating and Forces, Colourful Chemistry, Heating and Eating, and Easy Freezy. The brightly colored pages are very inviting and includes information about the science (chemistry) that is happening in each chapter. The author has included safety rules, which reminded me of the contract that I had to sign in high school chemistry class. This book, however, is geared toward younger readers. Parents will have fun with their children, teaching and learning about how accessible science can be for everyone.
Experiment with Kitchen Science is a lot of fun, as there is a good mixture of edible experiments and interesting ones. I could see this book being used during a family activity night, as it is a great way of getting kids excited about science.

Experiment with Kitchen Science is a Children's Nonfiction book that has us experimenting, having fun and learning whilst in the kitchen. This book is part of a STEAM series and we cannot wait to check out the others!
The cover is bright and catches my eye. It showcases well what we're about to dive into.
Broken up into different chapters such as, Colorful Chemistry and Floating and Forces, I knew we were in for a fun read. The font is easily readable and attractive, the color palettes chosen are great and I love the challenges and facts throughout the pages. There's also a mix of images and illustrations which is great for the learning experience.
5 Stars. Would recommend. We actually completed some of these with our toddler who enjoyed them. As he gets older, I could see using this during homeschooling or alongside his course curriculums at school.
Thanks to the publisher, Quarto Publishing Group – QEB Publishing, the author, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC copy to read and review. Review will also be posted to my blog (www.kagoodsell.com/book-reviews), GoodReads, TikTok (@unearthingeco), as well as NetGalley reviews.

This awesome non-fiction book holds several excellent opportunities for children to explore and experiment in their own kitchens! With step-by-step directions, and simple, common ingredients, this book offers opportunities that will teach children so much about nutrition, cooking, baking and how to prepare and understand different types of foods. Beyond just food there are experiments that have to do with kitchen tools, basics in chemistry and physics and tons of background information about the scientific concepts being explored. The book includes real photographs as well as diagrams and simple pictures and features text boxes with interesting facts. I can definitely see young children being very interested in this book. It is also a great opportunity for parents and children to connect and learn together in the kitchen without having to go to too much trouble organizing and planning. I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 4-12 range. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – QEB for Experiment with Kitchen Science – Fun Projects to Try at Home by Nick Arnold. This is a fun book with five different topics to learn about – Mad Mixtures, Floating and Forces, Colorful Chemistry, Heating and Eating, and Easy Freezy. Each chapter has several experiments/activities to try. There is also a glossary and index at the end. There are warnings on experiments that require adult help or will make a mess.
Some of my favorite experiments are: how to make butter, liquid layers to learn about density, lemon volcanos, massive marshmallows, and Nice Cream – making ice cream in a baggie. Each experiment has a clear list of what you need, easy to follow directions, great pictures, plus information about what you are learning about. A fun and exciting way to learn about several different science topics.

I am always looking for new experiments to do with my children and this one caught my eye when it said kitchen science. I found the experiments readily available because most.ingredients I already had. With each experiment, the pages were laid out with the ingredients, the steps and pictures of how the experiment would look or proceed. There were also full descriptions on the way behind the science, which allowed myself to understand and then to explain the process or the way myself. Thank you to NetGalley and QEB Publishing for an advanced copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions are my own!

I can only imagine the hours of fun and wonder we are going to have in the kitchen! This book is going to be our manual for the next years!
While reading it, I thought: children are going to love physics and chemistry due to this book!
I can hardly wait to start with the experiments myself!
A must-have for all those that want to have fun while learning with their children!

Fun experiments with items found in most kitchens. Can be very helpful in teaching older elementary or middle schoolers concepts found in science. The experiments can easily be conducted by the child with a touch of supervision. Experiments are fully described as to how to complete them, what they will show, why it is important and what to be learned from them. It also explains terms such as “control subject”.

Experiment with Kitchen Science is a fun science book using everyday things you have around your kitchen like oil, water, corn starch, etc. I really like how each experiment has a small blurb explaining the actual science behind why these little experiments work. I plan to use these with my 4 year old and 11 year old kids as part of home school science. I highly recommend this book to anyone with curious kids that wants to do a little science at home.

Another beautiful book by Nick Arnold! I as a homeschool teacher and both my kids (9&7) love the pictures, easy to read instructions and small sample of who what when why - we’re able to research more each experiment if we choose to, and aren’t bombarded with information we can’t retain. We bought the physical copy of the science experiments- now to buy this one Becusse it’s that good and we need this in our shelf space!

What a terrific book filled with fun science experiments using things found in the kitchen. Step by step instructions make it easy to follow. The photos make the book fun to look at too. The best part is that the science behind each experiment is explained in a way that makes it easy to understand. I plan to use this book with my students this school year. The kids [and teachers] will love it!

We love science experiments here. This was such a fun book! There are a ton of easy to do experiments and most use items you already have. If you don’t, they are at your local grocery store.
* Easy to follow instructions
* Every day items for the experiments
* Kids can do most steps on their own.
* Warnings are included if there is a mess factor or parents needed.
* Pictures (drawings) of step by step instructions.

This is a brilliant book for parents or caretakers to explore with children, pretty much everything you need you’ll already have in your home, and this gives us 30 funny science experiments that helps us explain to our children why things happened the way they did.
Highly recommend this book, I explored more than a few experiments and my 8 years old daughter had lots of fun, while I am sure, we both learned a lot.
Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

As an kitchen science enthusiast, the kiddo and I enjoyed this book a lot!!!
I read this book to my 7 year old and showed a few pics - she was like "hey that's exactly how we did it - remember?" "Ooh can we try this the next time?" "Ooh this sounds lovely" "I have seen this before!!" and dancing around the entire time 😄😄
The writing and explanation were simple and very much understandable for kids of all age. The facts and tips were cool too 😄
Overall - a very good one

This book gives all sorts of activities to encourage scientific thinking in children while having fun in the kitchen. Most ideas require items that should be easily found in the kitchen or easily attainable. There are plenty of ideas and can keep kids busy for many days during the summer or throughout the year. I'm most excited to try to make the Non-Newtonian Liquid. Thank you #netgalley for giving me a copy of this book.

I enjoy these kinds of books: combing science with fun. These Kitchen experiments are easy to do at home and fun for kids. Many required parental supervision so it's a great activity set to bond over. The bok is full of pictures and visuals as well as great science facts. I would absolutely buy this for my child if I had one.

This is such a great book, I bought it today for myself and my work at the library.
I like working with children and do experiments and this book is so great with easy experiments anybody can do at home.
I tried it at home with my girls and we had a lot of fun and we all learned a lot, so it is a win win situation.
I am very thankful to have the chance to read this book.

I tried it at home with my girls and we had a lot of fun and we all learned a lot, so it is a win win situation.

As a science teacher I can tell you that these experiments are super cool and simple to follow. The instructions are clear and concise. Those they seem to be for younger students I can use some of them for my middle school kids. I think they would enjoy them.

This book has so many great science experiments. It has a pretty good range in difficulty and materials needed. My favorites were by far the ones that ended with edible results such as the butter and "perfect science pizza". I will definitely be doing more of these with my boys in the future.

I received this book, for free, in exchange for an honest review.
Has a wide array of interesting experiments. While my daughter can be picky about picking up projects this book had dozens of ideas that got her excited
