About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-10-Readers who wonder how much energy is stored in a corn puff can find out from Gardner's compilation of science projects and experiments that involve weight, food, and nutrition. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, digestive processes, and weight reduction are studied in a variety of projects, some of which are appropriate for science fairs. With its emphasis on careful procedures, such as weighing, measuring, and record keeping, the book will also be useful for consumer science units. Gardner introduces each area with sufficient background information before setting students on the path of investigation. Janice VanCleave's Food and Nutrition for Every Kid: Easy Activities That Make Learning Science Fun (Wiley, 1999) is recommended for younger patrons.
