Product Review
The 50 original science fair projects cover the broad range of physical, mathematical and earth sciences and use low-cost, easily obtained and safe materials. The detailed explanation of how to approach and complete a project may be more valuable as a classroom and teacher resource than to an individual child, as it is written on a level perhaps more sophisticated than the abilities of the children who would select one of the book's unusual projects. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Approved winner.

Reader Reviews...This book is very thorough. It tells you how science fair projects should be presented. It had sample science fair projects. It gave outlines on abstracts, reports, etc. My only problem with this book was that it was too complex for my daughter to understand on her own. I like my daughter to work on all her projects independently with only minimal guidance from me. There were concepts in this book that were difficult for her to understand, and I had to guide her through some of the ideas and explanations. On a brighter side, she got an A on her project, and her teacher chose her project to display in the classroom as one of the teacher's favorite projects.
