For this episode, we not only Read Science, we Make Science! Our guest was Liz Heinecke, the Kitchen Pantry Scientist and author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids. We talked about engaging kids and their parents with science through hands-on science fun in the kitchen–and outdoors, for the messier experiments.
In a “Read Science!” first, we had several live demonstrations from Liz’s book, in Liz’s kitchen, with two cameo appearances by Liz’s daughters to demonstrate the fun. We made green slime, litmus paper with beet juice, and demonstrated the effects of air pressure with a hard-cooked egg. Join us for the fun!

Today we had a lively discussion with Lynn Sherr about her outstanding biography, Sally Ride : America’s First Woman in Space. We talked quite a bit about the sexist barriers that Sally (and Lynn Sherr, herself) help to break down in the early 1980s, listened to stories, and tried to understand what a different time it was when Sally joined NASA in 1978, and what a different place the USA was back then.
