Goodreads

This book takes science experiments-at-home books a step further by including a one page biography of chemists before each experiment. It also has some unique experiments (elemental precipitation!) which is refreshing as a lot of these books have the same type of experiments over and over again (slime!). It would probably be best for older elementary to middle school students as some of the experiments are involved and take a while to complete. My only complaint with it is that it is part of the Kitchen Pantry Scientist series which implies that the supplies would be things one would have in their kitchen but some of the experiments require things that nobody has in their kitchen (118 small, clear containers with lids). Odd supplies aside, though, it has some exciting lessons and the bios are varied and interesting.
