Reviews

Grade 3-8-A delightful book of science experiments to do in restaurants. All manner of science facts are taught in 30 simple activities, from "How many times can you fold a piece of paper in half?" to problems dealing with electrical charges, air pressure, and the principles of flight. The book is organized like a menu, with "Appetizers" that introduce basic concepts, "Main Courses" that provide more detailed endeavors, and a "Desserts" section that contains a glossary and list for further reading. Each experiment includes a list of materials ("Ingredients"), steps to follow ("Recipe"), explanation of the scientific principles involved ("Food for Thought"), and links to other events and phenomena ("More to Chew On"). An "Attention-Attraction Factor Key" indicates whether people at other tables will notice what you're up to. The black-and-white cartoons provide information and entertainment. A winner.
