Book Description: It's a recipe made in heaven! Sylvia Branzei's wildly disgusting scientific facts and Jack Keely's zany, totally gross art come together in the newest book in the best-selling Grossology series. So dig in and get those hands dirty! Measure your pee pee capacity...make some fake snot...or test your aim with a spit-o-matic. It's stealth learning at its finest served up cookbook-style in nearly 40 sound, completely hygienic, and safe experiments to whet kids' appetites for everyday scientific marvels. You've seen books with experiments and gross cookbooks, too, but nothing beats this dynamic duo's proven ability to bring the science of things slimy, mushy, oozy, crusty, scaly, and stinky home to kids!
Great rainy-day fun! My 7 year old son just loved doing these cookbook style experiments in the kitchen. It's great indoor fun on rainy days. It combines reading, following directions, treasure hunting through the house, and gross words that boys really love to say out loud. My son's favorite was making "fake dookie" which looked like animal feces but was edible!! Sounds gross, but nevertheless, tons of fun.
Not Much Good For Educators This book has a collection of experiments which draw from other grossology books. (Some of the actual experiments are in the other books.) I have used a lot of the Grossology books in my classroom to really help turn on kids to science, but this particular book is more suited to at home fun. If you have the other books in the series, this one wouldn't be worth it.
