Kate the Chemist: The Awesome Book of Edible Experiments for Kids

Ice cream is science! Hollandaise is science! Chocolate-covered pretzels? Yep, that's science, too. Kate the Chemist, also known as Dr. Kate Biberdorf, is a chemistry professor at UT-Austin and self-described "science entertainer" who broke out at the beginning of the pandemic with a book of at-home chemistry experiments. Follow-up The Awesome Book of Edible Experiments for Kids is a cookbook geared toward children and their parents, featuring 25 recipes/experiments that provide a lively way to learn while creating an edible treat. And with so many kids attending virtual classes for now three semesters, and summer break fast approaching, it’s a no-brainer to put a STEM-friendly kitchen project into your witching hour rotation.
