Synopsis

Does your child love to experiment with unusual objects? Does she revel in asking and discovering answers to her questions about the world around her? Can he take apart and put back together any complicated machine, without reading the instructions? Parents of children with precocious science ability will find the suggestions in Encouraging Your Child's Science Talent engaging, encouraging, and practical.

The author provides parents with advice for:

  • recognizing early science ability in children,
  • helping that ability flourish at home and in the classroom,
  • setting up science-related projects, and
  • enriching a child's science ability.
The book also includes a special section on science fairs that takes parents through the process of helping their children create award-winning, educational science fair projects.
