Praise for Soda Pop Science:
"The product of a collaboration between Scientific
Explorer and the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University
of California, Berkeley, this kit encourages kids to think about
chemistry by mixing their own soft drinks. The set includes
citric acid, baking soda, and various flavorings. Kids supply
water and a willingness to experiment. Our testers loved creating
fizzy, flavorful sodas. Even when experiments went awry, producing
the worst-tasting sodas since New Coke, they would drink them
down just for the gross-out factor."
—Family Fun Magazine
"...the staff and volunteers at the Lawrence Hall of Science
at the University of California at Berkeley have been helping
kids learn and develop for years, and now some of that good
work is available at toy stores everywhere...They have created
kits that appeal equally to boys and girls...there's serious
educational theory at play here, too."
— San Francisco Chronicle
