Grade 6 Up?This extensive collection of do-it-yourself projects ranges from simple ideas using household materials to sophisticated plans requiring a significant investment of time and money, a few of which, such as a parabolic sound antenna, are unique. Each device or set-up includes a list of materials, generally clear instructions, and a black-and-white drawing of the finished product. Unfortunately, the title is misleading; most of these projects are demonstrations and need to be incorporated into a series of experiments to work for science fairs, and there isn't much discussion of the science behind each one. In addition, judges might disqualify "Overpopulation Studies" that lead to guppies dying, and the complicated refracting telescope could prove disappointing. The volume also lacks a list of science-supply houses and a list for further reading.?Alan Newman, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC
