In this fact-packed title, the core science topic of ""Changing States of Matter"" just got fun as science escapes the laboratory into the kitchen. As kids embark on each new experiment in this book they will be actively encouraged to get messing with food as they investigate the science behind the things we eat.As they cook and do science, students will follow step-by-step instructions, use the scientific method, work with science equipment, and practice and build their science vocabulary.
