School Library Journal Review: K-Gr 6 Solutions, mixtures, emulsions, and gels are but a few of the concoctions presented here. Although many of the projects in this volume are familiar, it is the logical arrangement of the material that sets it apart. A brief, concise, and lively explanation of the scientific method and inexpensive ways to set up a kitchen laboratory precede the actual experiments. Each chapter builds on information previously presented. Activities can be conducted separately, but the sequential logic of the text make this title valuable for teaching basic chemistry principles. Pen-and-ink cartoon illustrations are well placed, informative, and humorous. Safety precautions are emphasized. Super Science is more informative than Alan Kramer s How to Make a Chemical Volcano (Watts, 1991) and livelier than Robert Gardner s Kitchen Chemistry (Silver Burdett, 1989). So whether it is gooblek, thixotropic art, or a density necklace, this book makes basic chemistry fun.Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH Copyright 1997 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
