Synopses & Reviews
This book is for anyone who wants to excel at a school science fair. It gives complete guidance for every stage of a successful project, from brainstorming ideas to final presentation. More than a "recipe-style" science fair book, this work promotes the understanding of real science.
Twenty prizewinning projects from top national competitions are included:
How to make the best chocolate-chip cookies-scientifically!
Do lefties have slower reaction times than right-handers?
Does grass grow faster if you cut it short? And more!
Kids will love the hip, engaging text, filled with fascinating trivia and wacky science jokes, as well as the very funny illustrations. Solid science presented in a compelling manner makes this a stellar addition to the category.
Synopsis
In this cozy picture book-about a modern-day family in New England collecting sap to make maple syrup- two young brothers take pride in finally being able to help with every step of the sugaring-off process. Nan Rossiter's beautiful illustrations are infused with the light of early spring, and there are woodland animals and birds to spot on every page. An afterword explores the legendary beginnings of sap gathering and broadens the usefulness of the book.
Synopsis
Includes bibliographical references (p. 127) and index.
