Are your students wondering how to make their science fair project stand out from the others and win an award? Super Sensational Science Fair Projects by Michael A. DiSpezio points out the path to thinking like a scientist that will prepare students in ways to create and carry out science projects. It will show them how to come up with an idea, what kind of questions they need to ask when preparing their project, and how to organize and present their material. It is filled with all sorts of topics that can form the basis for a good science project. Some of the investigations are one-night wonders, allowing students to perform the experiment and gather enough results to write up a report in a single evening's time. Others are more complex and can take several weeks; up to months to complete. The basics are presented for each project to get students started. This is followed by step-by-step instructions for completing the sample project, then by additional information about the project including the kind of findings students should expect to see after successfully carrying out the experiment. Experiments cover the properties of magnets and batteries, plant growth and development, chemical reactions and acid-base indicators, and many more. By performing these experiments, students will not only find out how to think like a scientist, but will also have a great time satisfying their natural curiosity. Index. 96 pp., softcover.
