Product Description

With these 100 proven projects, students will have a really winning science fair experience. And, as they’re enjoying that process, budding scientists will also be honing their analytical skills. Best of all, the author knows how to make even the most complicated subjects—such as DNA research—marvelously clear and understandable. The wide range of topics offers something for everyone: the many faces of acids and bases, the science of life (cells, enzymes, algae), perfect plant projects, the nature of hot and cold, chemical conundrums, and lots more. Students can construct a solar oven in a pizza box, figure out how many phone books can balance on a couple of eggshells, put together a “snail salad,” and many other blue-ribbon ideas.
The author lives in South Orange, NJ.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-10–Many of the experiments presented here are too simplistic to be award-winners, but students can use them to spark ideas and to start thinking about projects of their own. The book is also useful for teachers looking for lab activities that an entire class can do. The text is divided into 10 different areas, covering earth science, biology, simple physics, chemistry, and more. Each project is one or two pages long and includes a list of needed materials and numbered, step-by-step instructions. What you should notice and Here's what's happening explanations help students determine if they've done the experiment correctly. Extension activities are included. Serviceable black-and-white line drawings and diagrams help illustrate the concepts.–Laura Younkin, Ballard High School, Louisville, KY

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. In simple, kid-friendly language, Bardhan-Quallen offers "sure-to-win" experiments on subjects drawn from life science, chemistry, and more. Each experiment is divided into distinct steps; it's hard to imagine even the least science-savvy student not being able to follow the clear directions. Subheadings in every experiment explain what students will need, what they should do and notice, and finally what's happening as they observe. Black-and-white illustrations appear on several pages and, the author includes further information in a "dig a little deeper" section that extends the lessons. With 100 to choose from, the variety is vast, offering everything from easy experiments to complex projects that will make fine science fair entries. Roger Leslie
