It was a little chaotic for me, but most of the experiments are easy enough that most kids would be able to do them on their own and the science facts given are shot and sweet. Kind of like a "Hey, guess what I learned *rattle of fact*" Over all its a fun book to have on hand for curious minds and hands on activities.

Science in the Kitchen has different activities for kids that show them how to use and handle everyday items someone would find in the kitchen, such as soap. It informs kids on how to clean items and teaches them why things happen. For example, it teaches kids why mopping cleans the floor and the process that the liquids go through in order to clean. It also teaches kids fun facts such as why blowing bubbles works and why people are able to blow bubbles. This book would work well for a science project where my students would need to research one of the things that this book states and they would need to develop an experiment with it. I liked this book as a child because it allowed for me to conduct experiments at my house using everyday kitchen supplies. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science and is interested in conducting experiments.

Teachers' need resources for ideas for lesson plans; Science in the Kitchen is one I have used to plan preschool science projects for the children to try and experiment with in my lessons for them over the years.
