Emily Calandrelli, MIT engineer and scientist, shares exhilarating experiments for junior scientists and their lab assistants, ranging from homemade ice cream to disappearing ink. The book features 50 experiments using easy-to-find grocery store items. Each experiment includes a scientific explanation, a Hypothesize section to record the scientist’s assumptions, science vocabulary that applies STEM research to real life (did you know that ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid?), and Try This! prompts with even more ways to experiment with your experiment. Let the science spark curiosity and critical thinking; grab your goggles and your trusted assistant and get started!
