Why does an egg turn solid when it gets hot? Why does cheese melt? What makes bread rise — and popcorn suddenly pop?
The Science of Cooking for Kids turns an ordinary kitchen into a place full of surprising science.
Young readers discover what is really happening inside familiar foods as they are heated, mixed, melted, frozen, browned, and baked. Simple explanations introduce the physics and chemistry behind everyday cooking without making the science feel complicated.
Inside, children will discover:
• Why eggs change from runny to solid
• What happens when cheese and chocolate melt
• How tiny gas bubbles make bread rise
• Why popcorn kernels burst open
• How water boils and becomes vapor
• Why some foods become brown when heated
• What happens to proteins during cooking
• How heating and cooling change food
• Why mixing ingredients can create something completely new
• How science appears in everyday meals and snacks
Rather than simply showing children how to cook, this book helps them understand why food changes.
With colorful illustrations, familiar examples, and science children can recognize in their own kitchen, The Science of Cooking for Kids makes chemistry and physics easy to see, question, and explore.
A colorful visual science adventure for curious readers ages 6–10.
