Science You Can Eat: The Astonishing Science Behind Our Food

Discover the seriously impressive science that goes on every time you cook or eat.

Science You Can Eat will transform your kitchen into a lab through fun food experiments for children aged 7-11. Explore the science of food by asking questions you’re hungry to know the answers to and putting them to the test through fun experiments.

Cooking is chemistry, and the fun science experiments–such as tricking your taste buds, making slime taste delicious, and investigating some of the strangest flavors around will prove it. Tackle all the tasty science questions you have about food, plus plenty more that you hadn’t thought of!

This science book for children offers:

• An interactive learning experience combining facts about the science of food with fun experiments.
• Answers to the science behind the everyday, such as what makes popcorn pop, and does cheese cause bad dreams.
• Fun experiments, including tricking your taste buds, making glow-in-the-dark drinks, and creating edible chemical reactions.

Once you understand science, you understand food, so find out why popcorn goes “pop” as you test it out for yourself, explore how taste is affected by smell, then discover whether eating insects is the future of food.

Examining interesting ingredients and exciting eating, as well as peeking into the future of food, Science You Can Eat helps you understand what’s happening with our food and why. Each page is guaranteed to leave you hungry for more.
