Sure-to-Win Science Fair Projects

In order to win at the science fair, go to the experts--kids who have already taken the prize. These blue-ribbon science experiments are based on those from real students, and they're smart, imaginative, fun to do, and sure to be a hit with the judges! Youngsters will find over 50 exciting and challenging choices in all the major categories: biology, physical science, and chemistry. Using easily found materials, they'll test such things as whether people who play video games have a different reaction time than those who don't, or whether sound travels better underwater than through air. Easier projects come first, more difficult ones after, and many include a section called "Take a Closer Look" with research suggestions and additional information. Plus, an introduction covers exactly what a science fair is, typical rules and regulations, and tips on display and presentation. Your child is sure to win!
