Product Description
Incredible Edible
Experiments Ever wonder what makes popcorn pop? why cakes rise? how jelly gels?Your kitchen will be transformed into a laboratory worthy of a mad scientist as you make startling discoveries about how cabbage can detect acid, how bacteria makes yogurt, and how decomposed sugar turns to caramel. Then after a long day at the lab you can relax and eat your results: soup, biscuits, pretzels, cupcakes, or cookies. Vicki Cobb's seminal book has been revised and updated to encompass advances in modern technology but still provides what all kids want: a legitimate excuse to play with their food!

 Great science activities December 26, 2007
I have done three of these experiments with my kids so far, and we love this book. The experiments are simple, and most things we already have, the rest I can easily get. My son did find a few facts in the book that were wrong, but that may be because the copyright was 1994, and it may be behind by now. To me, that just gives us opportunity to look it up and find how far we've come in 14 years. I am sure we will get a lot out of this book: knowlege, fun, memories, and snacks!
 Not for kids December 18, 2007

It's a good book but not for kids. Be prepared to teach rather than create. I enjoy the book but it's too much work to explain to the kids why things are happening. A good book for teachers as it could be combined with a lesson.
 Fun!! July 3, 2007
My 10 year old daughter and I have been working through this book during the summer. She has really enjoyed the experiments. Some of the information is a review from what she learned last year in school and some of it is new. Many of the experiments suggested have lead us to new experiments of our own.

This book is great for introducing various science concepts to children, and has many recipes that can be used and then eaten! Includes muffins, jell-o, rock candy, and more.

We discovered the original 1974 version of this book in our school library. After a quick perusal, we realized it was a fantastically fun way to teach kids science. The kids love the experiments and they are so easy to follow. Now, we use it everyday in our lesson planning in order to teach the scientific method. What a great way to use all five senses to make learning fun and real-world applicable!
