From homemade ice cream to disappearing ink, this fun book presents exhilarating experiments for junior scientists and their lab assistants. Emily Calandrelli, MIT engineer and scientist, shares a range of experiments using easy-to-find grocery store items. Each experiment includes scientific explanations, a "Hypothesize" section that gets you thinking like a real scien tist, science vocabulary, fun facts that connect your STEAM experiment to the world around you, to real life (did you know that ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid?), and "Try This!" prompts with even more ways to experiment with your experi ment. Let the science spark curiosity and critical thinking; grab some goggles and your trusted assistant and get started!
