Uh-oh, now you've gone and done it, you volunteered to do a science fair project. Don't sweat it, presenting at a science fair can be a lot of fun. Just remember, the science fair is for your benefit. It's your chance to show that you understand the scientific method and how to apply it. Also, it's an opportunity for you to delve more deeply into a topic you're interested in. Quite a few scientists, including a few Nobel laureates, claim that they...

"Produced in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution, SI Math Maker Lab is designed to appeal to math geeks and those that prefer practical projects. To complete these engaging projects, kids don't need to be math geniuses or even know how to use a calculator. Each task comes with easy-to-follow instructions, photographs, and illustrations to help whip up super cool mathematics creations!"--

Superbrains Jimmy and Vindy battle it out for the highest grade on their science projects.

Includes projects for students that not only help them learn more about science by demonstrating how it is a part of everyday life but also serve as models for competitive entries in science fairs.

Projects designed to encourage children to question like a scientist, design like a technologist, build like an engineer, create like an artist, deduce like a mathematician, and play like a kid.

Jason is sure his science project will win first prize, until he finds out what the other Cul-de-sac Kids are planning.

Provides background information and instructions for fifty science projects involving plants, insects, microbes, human behavior, animals, water, physics, machinery, and other topics, and suggests further ideas to pursue.
