Product Description

This third entry in the "Jumpstarts" series focuses on Science topics for upper elementary and middle school students. Maintaining the "99 Jumpstarts" format of the two previous books, "99 Jumpstarts for Kids Science Research" is divided into ten broad topical sections. Each topic is arranged in alphabetical order under its section. Topics include body parts, energy, animals, heavens, weather, matter, medicine, technology, environment, and geology. This pathfinder approach aides students in the research process, helping them define important terms, offer beginning questions to help narrow their topic, furnish source ideas and some fun activities to explore each topic.
