About this title

About the Author:

JANICE VANCLEAVE is a former award-winning science teacher who now spends her time writing and giving hands-on science workshops. She is the author of more than 40 children's science books.

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.
