Each year hundreds of thousands of students, nationwide, participate in science fairs. Consequently, students are always on the lookout for good project ideas. This book offers students--grades 7 and up--50 award-winning projects from actual fairs (described in detail with accompanying illustrations) and a total soup-to-nuts guide.

Grade 7 Up-- Drawing on her own experience as a science fair participant, Bochinski offers useful information and hints on how to design, conduct, and present a science project. In addition, judging criteria are detailed, and an appendix lists numerous science supply companies. Unfortunately, this good advice is undermined by a lengthy section of 50 award-winning projects that could easily intimidate first-time entrants. How should readers react to sophisticated experiments that include a VAX computer or an "atomic absorption instrument," or a procedure that begins, "This experiment must be conducted under the supervision of a research scientist?" In fairness, many of the other experiments are simpler to perform and understand. However, the author never explains what made any of them winners. Black-and-white photographs of selected projects, along with illustrative, ink-line drawings, are scattered throughout the book. --Alan Newman, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC
