With Sheet Pan Science, contain the mess and let the fun overflow with 25 safe, easy physics, biology, and chemistry projects.
Each project in the book contains simple instructions, easy-to-understand science explanations, and step-by-step photographic guides. While a stovetop or freezer may occasionally be required, most steps of the experiments can be performed directly on a rimmed baking sheet.
Messy play is important for young learners. Mixing colors, creating bubbly chemical reactions, and playing with goo are visual and tactile experiences that create strong memory pathways. In addition to allowing kids to explore and hone problem-solving skills, science experimentation encourages curiosity and engages a sense of wonder. A sheet pan and a few simple ingredients will instantly transform any kitchen countertop into a laboratory bench filled with fizzy fun.
The projects in Sheet Pan Science cater to a wide range of interests. While some kids love getting their hands into cornstarch goo, others will enjoy creating colorful tie-dye milk. Using a lemon, aspiring geologists can test rock collections to see whether they contain limestone. Art lovers may gravitate towards fabric dying and leaf prints, while budding chefs can play with edible experiments. Ice Globe create a colorful explosion of carbon dioxide gas foaming from hollow frozen spheres.
Engage your child with hours of science fun and learning.
From the Publisher
Geology Fizz Test
Study rocks using a magnifying glass. Use lemon juice and vinegar to test whether the rocks contain any limestone.
Scrape rocks with a metal paper clip and drip lemon juice onto the scraped area.
Look for carbon dioxide bubbles, which indicate the presence of limestone
Bubbles will form as vinegar dissolves the limestone.
Marbled Paper
Float paint on thickened water to create beautiful designs.
Pour carrageenan- or cornstarch-thickened water onto a sheet pan.
Drip and splatter paint onto the thickened water in the sheet pan.
Lay a piece of paper, alum-side down, on the paint.
Crystal Garden
Use a supersaturated Epsom salt solution to grow a garden of sparkling crystals.
Use pipe cleaners to make small flowers and suspend them in the cups using skewers or pencils.
When the crystals have grown, remove the flowers from the cups.
Wind the stems around the skewers to make a crystal bouquet.
