Incredible Edible Science

Make learning exciting for children with over 160 hands-on, food-based science activities, each with a strong literacy connection. Incredible Edible Science provides everything needed to teach important science process skills in a safe, developmentally appropriate way. These cross-curricular activities promote brain development and fully engage children through physical involvement—such as exploring balance and texture as they create popcorn ball structures, classifying and patterning different types of cereal, and investigating fractions with biscuits—and participation in literacy and language components such as phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, and following directions. After the activity is complete, children can eat their work!

"Incredible Edible Science: Recipes for Developing Science and Literacy Skills provides nearly two hundred science-based activities encouraging kids to investigate science concepts in maths, language and more. Each uses easy, readily-available materials and includes questions and vocabulary words to encourage kids to think about the food-based activities herein. Tips on cooking safety, health, and organization complete the fine ideas."
