Do the words "science fair" evoke exuberance; or dread? We know students need the hands-on opportunities science fairs provide, but for those who aren't science experts, guiding them can be daunting. This comprehensive resource is a tool to help you help your students. This book sets forth step-by-step instructions, charts, graphs, extensions, and presentation guidelines your students can run with on their own. The scientific method and science process skills are greatly emphasized and there is a strong focus on inquiry-based learning and several investigations have an environmental focus. It is perfect for middle school science programs.
