This review is from: The Complete Handbook of Science Fair Projects (Paperback)

Not many readers know about this book that is literally the most "Complete" book on science fair projects out there. This is an all-new revision of the original book that came out in the 90's and it has been updated with great information, drawings, photos and more. It is the best resource for students who need to do a science fair project and need to know everything from finding a topic to carrying out an experiment to delivering a presentation before judges. Resourceful ways in which to find a topic, where to go for help, how to measure and calculate data, etc. There are also 50 classic sample project outlines with illustrations that give students ideas for projects in all scientific disciplines, an ample list of possible project topics, a detailed list of possible subject areas to find a topic in, with a useful list of websites where a student can find information on almost any topic, scientific supply stores across the US and Canada, a list of every science fair in the country and around the world and their corresponding websites (where available), and a list other competitions students can enter their projects in. In all my years of working with our school science fair, this book is still the authority on the subject. Highly recommended for all in grades 5-12.
