Synopsis:

Readers investigate the scientific principles happening all around them. These 50 fun and award-winning projects include experiments in biology, weather, physics, botany, chemistry, behavior, and even consumerism. Using common objects found in the home, and all very safe, each one of these science fair projects is guaranteed to get rave reviews. 53 illustrations.

Reviews: Grade 3-5?Sixty simple activities that use easy-to-find equipment and materials. "Rock Collection, City-Style" teaches grouping and classification; "Fade Out" investigates how sunlight affects colors; "Banana Cooker" uses heat and light to ripen fruit; "The Great Soap Race" compares how long different brands of soaps last. Entries include materials needed, the procedure, an explanation of the results, and a "Something More" section that adds variations to the projects and encourages young scientists to be creative in their explorations. Illustrated with appealing black-and-white drawings, the book is appropriate for students to use on their own (with adult supervision) or for parents to use with younger children. Filling an ever-present need, it is a good addition to science collections.?Helen Rosenberg, Chicago Public Library, IL
