Customer Reviews

Lots of great information, top-notch science fair projects!
I found this book on Amazon back in December while shopping for similar books for my daughter who is doing a science project for school. This book offered a most informative summary for us parents looking for some guidance in helping our children do a science project. There are plenty of great ideas and good examples in this book covering everything about how to do a science fair project from scratch. But I should say, most importantly, it was different (and better) from the other books we bought becvause it provided 35 wonderful science fair project outlines on current topics that are really quite interesting (even from a parental standpoint), projects concerning testing for radiation from cell phones, testing various acidic food types for absorption of aluminum from cooking pans, testing for vitamin content in foods, testing for anti-biotic resistant bacteria, natural mosquito repellant techniques, the list goes on. We were very impressed with this book, also gave many ideas and addresses where to find materials or get information and make contacts, lists of great websites to visit and on and on....well worth the money, this book turned out to be the only book we used. The Science fair is only a few weeks away, we are expecting and keeping our fingers crossed for a good result!
