Science Project Books for All Grade Levels

Last Minute - 24 Hour Science Fair Projects!   (When you're running out of time...)

Students and parents need a head start to get into science fair projects, especially when it's the first year for you.  Here you will find science books designed for children as early as the first grade and even kindergarten and pre-school.  These books help to smooth out the learning curve.  If you're not reading these books, chances are you can find them in the homes of many of your classmates.

Science projects are used by schools to help children learn about science by hands-on experiments and demonstrations.  Many parents need help in order to help their children get started.  With these books, you don't need to be a science expert to put together a good project.  Children learn better when the experience is fun and interesting.  These books help get over the confusion and panic that many students and parents feel about their first science project.  This way, learning can take place in a natural way driven by the child's innate curiosity.  Do your research as early as possible in order to reduce stress and make the project a positive experience for the entire family.

Grade 4-6. VanCleave continues to produce user-friendly volumes that make science great fun. The experiments are organized into five fields: astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. The activities themselves are printed two to a page and all are organized into the following components: purpose, materials, procedures, results, and why (an explanation of the scientific principle involved). Each entry is accompanied by a black-and-white line drawing that helps clarify and explain the process or concept. The author has a talent for framing scientific questions in terms that are sure to appeal to young people: "Purpose: To determine why dinosaur eggs were so small compared to the adult dinosaur." "Purpose: To determine how faults produce earthquakes." Some activities consist merely of observation, such as "To study parts of a feather." Some are more complex, but all are clearly and concisely explained.

Science Fair Projects Made Easy

Here's a checklist to help gauge your understanding of what a science project entails:


Do you know how judges grade projects? Do you know what they look out for?
What are the rules for displaying a project?  Is it necessary to perform an experiment? (Can you do a project without an experiment?)  How many different types of science projects are there?  There are so many different possibilities. Is there a systematic way to choose a topic?  How is scientific "Theory" different from a "Hypothesis"?
What can your child do if an experiment goes wrong?  How did you do? If you can confidently answer the questions above, you're ready to provide your child with sound guidance.
 

However, if you were unsure about some of the questions, we offer a book that provides clear and relevant guidelines. It will guide you and your child to:
 

  • Score top grades
  • Follow guidelines to save time and reduce labor
  • Learn from other projects and online resources

 
We've worked with the publisher (Science School Publishing Company) to come up with a package deal which includes the book, plus additional useful tools. This package will help your child with her project. We believe this package deal represents good value what it offers.

In addition, a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this e-book will go towards our site. If you feel that we've provided you and your child a useful service, we would be grateful if you would consider supporting us in this way.
