About this title

Synopsis

Have you ever been assigned a science project at school? It can be a little overwhelming. But, if you follow a few simple guidelines, it will make it an enjoyable experience. Think about something you wonder about. That is a good start. After picking your topic, conduct research by using the Internet or library, talk to experts about the topic you’ve chosen, form a hypothesis, test it and write down your observations, and form a conclusion based on them. Record all your information and present your prize-winning project to your class! This book will allow students to explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.

From School Library Journal

Gr 5–8—These texts cover academic skills that will be useful in the workplace, including group work and research. Chapter headings such as "What Do Employers Want?" and "Great Habits That Last a Lifetime" emphasize the link between school and career, and a diverse group of young people are depicted in the photographs. Yet some tips seem dated, including using note cards for recording research facts, and won't appeal to computer-savvy students. Some advice will be helpful, such as delegating responsibilities to group members based on individual talents. However, there is a stale quality to many of the suggestions. VERDICT This set won't ring true to today's readers.
