THIS NEXT!

Sometimes one thing

leads to another. For

some activities, we’ve

provided fun ideas for

further investigations.

INGREDIENTS DEMYSTIFIED!

We’ve also included profiles on key

ingredients that you eat or drink every

single day—water, spices, salt, sugar,

dairy, and fruit.

WHAT’S THE DEAL?

These circles give

you the lowdown

on the facts behind

the fun, explaining

all the physical laws

and weird science

underlying the

book’s activities.

THE STEPS

For every activity,

there are step-by-

diagrams to help you

make the science

happen. But we

encourage you to tweak

these experiments to

explore what interests

you—each one is just

a starting point for

your own personal

discoveries.

On every plate is a science lesson—a story about where food comes from, how we prepare it, and what

it does once we’ve swallowed it down the hatch! At the Exploratorium, we observe and investigate the

full spectrum of science every day, from physics to chemistry, biology to human behavior. Some of our

most popular investigations are kitchen experiments using ingredients we eat all the time.

To best learn about the science of cooking and food, we’ve selected some of our favorite activities that

Exploratorium teachers, scientists, and artists have developed over the years, plus a few more great

ideas from other kitchen tinkerers. Here’s how they work:
