Great book!
I think this book is a good book for science fairs because of the 50 award w9inning topics.I would recommend this book to anyone who is diong are planning on doing a science fair project. Buy it it's worth it!

This book is really cool!
If you're looking for a science fair project and are not sure what to do, I highly recommend this book. It has 50 real award-winning science projects from real students. Some of them are kind of complicated because they come from the International Science Fair, but there are many that are good for kids in grades 6-9. The only thing is that the author provides summary questions and does not provide the answers or outcomes to the projects. But apparently that was the author's intention so that kids will learn something and not copy the projects. Otherwise, a very helpful book.

Terrific! Was a Great Resource for my Son!
My husband and I purchased this book last year for our youngest son who was an eighth-grader starting in a new school district (we recently moved). He had been given a science fair project assignment by his teacher for the school science fair. We were rather overwhelmed by the size of the assignment since neither of our two older children had gone through this before. A month before he had to turn in his project to his teacher, my husband and I found this gem of a book which turned out to be a LIFE SAVER for him. The book contained plenty of ideas and examples which helped him to come up with a first-place project on microbiology. The author gives detailed instructions and samples of real first-place projects done by kids in various grade levels which is helpful to a student, like our son, who learns best by example. I am now ordering this book as a stocking-stuffer for my niece!
