Any science fair books by Van Cleave are worth their weight in gold. I purchased two different volumes. I've had them before and they disappeared. These are replacements. If you are a science teacher (me) or a parent, these books are invaluable. Not only can you get good ideas for science experiments, but each experiment also has the "WHY IT WORKS/HAPPENS" section. This is so important. I've seen kids/parents do projects over the years and they don't even know the "Why/How" of their experiment. All Van Cleave books give precise explanations for each experiment. I love them.

I purchased this book for my 5th grade gifted daughter to give her ideas for the upcoming local science fair. She LOVES it! It is extremely comprehensive, detailing everything the child needs (and needs to do) from start to finish, and how to present their project. There are so many ideas in this book! Something for everyone :) Being a teacher, I will also be using the book for whole group science investigations for my 2nd grade class. WELL worth the money, even if I had to pay cover price for it. Highly recommended!!!
All of Janice Vancleave's book are great. She has a way of making Science the most interesting topic on Earth.
It was a great price and I am doing a science experiment................................................
There's a ton of science books out there and we buy them like stock. Kids always need science fair ideas. This book is good.
