Many of the experiments are safe enough for children as young as toddlers and exciting enough for older kids, so families can discover the joy of science together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach activity contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroduce kids to the world of science all around them with these simple, yet amazing, experiments!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiz Lee Heinecke\u003c\/b\u003e has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. After working in molecular biology research for 10 years and earning her master's degree, she left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon, she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, chronicling their science adventures on her KitchenPantryScientist website. Her desire to share her enthusiasm for science led to regular television appearances, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app. Her goal is to make it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. Liz graduated from Luther College and received her master's degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the author of \u003ci\u003eKitchen Science Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKitchen Science Lab for Kids: Edible Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutdoor Science Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSTEAM Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSheet Pan Science, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLittle Learning Labs: Kitchen Science for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e.
