Reader Reviews
I really like this book for how it lays out the Science Fair process and the ideas for different projects. When combined with "How to think like a scientist" (by Kramer) its a great start at having your children develop critical thinking skills. Remember, science is a process whereby you can get the right answer, even when no one knows what the right answer should be. Comment | | (Report this)
