Читать книгу Exploring Kitchen Science - The Exploratorium - Страница 6

The activities in this book are designed for kids

eight and older. The Exploratorium and the

publisher have made every effort to ensure that

the information and instructions included here are

accurate, reliable, and mind-blowingly cool, but

keep your own child’s skills and attention span

in mind before allowing him or her to try them,

and provide supervision as needed. We disclaim

all liability for any unintended, unforeseen, or

improper application of the suggestions in this

book, as well as any stained T-shirts or messy

exploding marshmallows. But we’re happy to help

contribute to your kid’s ever-increasing curiosity,

of course!

A Word for Parents

Everyday things—most of which are probably lying around your home right now—will help you do the

activities in this book. A few projects require some basic electronics; for those, you can make a

quick trip to a hobbyist shop or visit an online retailer. Assemble the tools for each activity so they’ll

be right there when you need them.
