No, I don't get paid for saying this, but I do write most of the science . . . and the trial is free. No? Well find out more about GEM, then! Failing that, I also write books from time to time, and Bittersweet my story of sugar as a commodity is now out in Japan, the UK, and in the USA in May for information on the books use this link and follow your nose . My new book Rockets , a scientific history of rockets and rocketry will be released in early July 2003, I have two other books in development with two publishers (one Penguin on reefs, and another for Allen and Unwin on poisons), and a couple more in the research and writing phase. There are several sections to this revamped document. It begins with some information on how to plan a science fair project, some optional thoughts for advanced students about the seven types of science you may encounter when you are thinking about your project, a huge list of ideas for projects you can do, and a bit of help in approaching just a few of the ideas. Background: this has existed for some time as a Web page, and you may even be reading it as a Web page still, because the HTML code that has been written as an e-book is also being used as an expanded replacement for the original Web page. There is also a .PDF file which has most of the topic ideas that are listed here, but it is not quite as complete as this version because it got too complex trying to manage parallel versions. The details of where to find these alternatives can be found at the end of this Web page or e-book, whichever you are looking at.

Science Project Primer | Science Service activity that allows students to teach themselves, to they need to conduct and concludetheir project. a student completes a science fair project, year after http://www.sciserv.org/isef/primer/why_complete_project.asp
Extractions: Why Complete a Science Fair Project? The following statement is excerpted, with thanks, from the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair Web site. First A science fair project is the ultimate answer to the often asked student question: "Why do I need to learn this stuff, anyway?" Second A science fair project can be self-validating and exciting because it is not just practice. It involves real discovery of little known or even unknown information. Finally Science fair projects can pay off in cash and open the doors of academic opportunity. Well-done projects generally lead to competition and awards at Intel ISEF-affiliated regional fairs. First-place winners at regional fairs usually have the opportunity to compete for additional awards in the California State Science Fair. Top first-place winners from junior and senior divisions in many fairs are selected as sweepstakes winners and receive cash awards. Additionally, selected senior sweepstakes winners (the best of the best) go on to compete with other grand prize winners from throughout the world for substantial cash and scholarship prizes at the annual Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Perhaps most importantly, however, graduating high school students with records of awards for original research or engineering at the regional fair and beyond, have a distinct advantage over other college applicants in being considered and accepted by the schools of their choice. This is because science fair honors rank high among the screening factors used by admissions officers at most top universities.

Extractions: Science is the organization of facts in systematic and meaningful patterns developed as a result of observation, experimentation, and insight (School Dictionary 3, MacMillan/McGraw-Hill). Begin with topics you are comfortable with and do science with the facts on hand. This is such open-ended advice you may need some examples to see the potential for effective science instruction in your classroom every day. The basic statistical procedures described above are part of the mathematics curriculum throughout the elementary grades and make a solid foundation for turning any collection of interesting measurements into a meaningful scientific inquiry. Language is another area to explore for science since you are probably well trained in reading, language, and literature: e.g. Count how many words you wrote in your journal, and count how many sentences you wrote in your journal. What is your average sentence length in words? How did your average sentence length change over the course of your journal writing? (Students use data sampling.) What is the average sentence length used in a published story that you read? How do these averages compare? And I could go on and on and on. The world is your oyster and science opens the shell.

T.E.A.C.H. Second Annual Science Fair Why did you do the project this way? Signups for the Second Annual teach science Fairwill be held at the February 21, 2000 teach meeting (Glad Tidings Church http://www.teachhomeschool.com/Meetings/2000-03/Science_Fair.htm
Extractions: A Science Fair Project is a students perspective of a science experiment. It should help the student: think scientifically; how to reason logically; make observations; gather and organize data; how to perform experiments using a scientific method; draw a conclusion from the data collected; and it should be fun! Choose something that interests you. Make a list of things you like to do. Make a list of immediate resources. Avoid things that can endanger you, like fire, etc. Divide the weeks to fit the deadline. Example: Week One Formulate a hypothesis; create an environment for your experiment and control group; establish environmental controls. Week Two Do research (library, Internet, etc.); write to relevant companies; take notes; make preliminary sketches. Week Three Use your research to plan your experiment. Week Four Interview experts; collect the materials you will need; design your experiment.

Science Fair Projects - From Our Editor Be the first to receive newly added science fair project ideas of tips and informationon how to do a winning project! are the most exciting type of science kit http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/ednote4.html
Extractions: Messages from our Editor: One of the most popular types of kits are Robot Kits. Here are some of the main advantages of these kits. Robot Kits are the most exciting and educational kits out there . Our belief is that robot kits are the most exciting type of science kit. We know that the rest of the world agrees, judging from the large number of websites dedicated to selling these kits. Try searching the net and see for yourself. We've spent hours looking for the best deals (one of our team members, Kenny, simply loves these kits!). Robot kits and books help teach children of all ages the principles of science and physics involved in building intelligent robots that can walk, run, feel their way around the house without bumping into things. These robots can crawl like spiders, follow trails, battle each other, sumo wrestle ... the list goes on and on. By building a robot, your kid will learn principles of engineering, electricity, electronics, mechanical movement, logic processing, power generation and consumption and much more.

Extractions: theteacherspot.com Get your free email account. Interact One of my favorite resources is a company called Interact. They publish a variety of interactive simulations for all ages although the bulk of them are at the upper elementary and Jr.. high level. The following is a cut and paste from a recent email post I wrote about Interact: I have been a big proponent of role playing/simulations and I am a little envious of those of you in middle schools and high schools because there is so much out there for you to use. However, even at the fourth grade level I have found a few valuable and worthwhile activities. INTERACT, a company out of California publishes a variety of well planned out role playing/simulations for all grade levels. They have a large variety to choose from in the areas of geography, world history, American history, government and economics. There are many I have wanted to try but are not appropriate for my age level. Heritage Heritage is a simulation of research and travel to American historical sites. Students travel across America visiting national parks and historic sites which introduce them to important events and periods in our history. Students use geography and map skills, keep travel logs, write diary entries and presents oral and written research projects on the significant sites they have visited. The first team that has visited 15 sites and reaches Bangor, Maine is the winner. I use this at the end of the 3rd quarter to wrap up our study of U.S. Geography.

Project AstroBio: Teacher Information going on field trips, doing science fair projects, and more. activities and projectmaterials. Project AstroBio teacher in and experience with handson science; http://www.astro.washington.edu/projastrobio/teacherinfo.html
Extractions: A STELLAR OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS What is Project AstroBio? In this innovative program twenty-five 3rd - 12th grade teachers from the Puget Sound region are paired each year with volunteer astronomers and other scientists who have an interest in working with local schools and organizations. Together, teachers and partner scientists participate in a hands-on training workshop, receive high quality resource materials, and develop a strategy for working together in and out of the classroom. There are a total of 68 Project AstroBio partnerships, from Everett to Olympia! "Classic" Project Astro, which began in Seattle in 1997, has become Project AstroBio as of 2002, to reflect a new and growing involvement in the sciences of astrobiology, which is the study of the origin, history, and extremes of life on Earth, as well as the possibility of life on other planets. Whereas in past years Project Astro teachers were paired solely with amateur, student, and professional astronomers, Project AstroBio teachers now may be paired with either astronomers or with scientists with more of a biology background. The range of science that can be done by hands-on activities now includes not only astronomy and related sciences, but also aspects of life in the universe. Partnerships involve more than just one-time visits:
