1.0 out of 5 stars
questionable testing, May 10, 2009
This review is from: 100 Amazing First-Prize Science Fair Projects (Paperback)
I spent a considerable amount of time and money buying the supplies for one of the projects related to electromagnetism. I had to hunt items down from several hardware stores and spent around $30-40. The experiment did not work at all. I tried changing some of the components around, spending more money, and it still didn't work. In rereading the project "("springy spring"), I'm not sure it even made theoretical sense, although I am a physician not an engineer. An engineer probably would have realized it wouldn't work and spared him/herself the aggravation and cost. After wasting my time with this over the course of several days, my son and I moved on to other book and another experiment.
