Super Science Challenge - for schools, science fairs, or fun!

This is a great source of ideas for science projects for science fairs, classroom projects or homework assignments, and a great way to fulfill the National Standards for inquiry-based science! This super cool science book is a collection of science challenges and open-ended questions for science inquiry which can be used as the basis for a science fair or other science project. But it's also great for parents who home-school, or just want to have some science fun at home with their future scientists!

Because these projects are open-ended challenges to solve science problems, not cookbook experiments to copy, this title will appeal to teachers as well as to kids. There are a broad range of topics from astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science and physics will give kids and teachers plenty of different project topics from which to choose. In addition to being perfect jumping off points for science fairs, the challenges can also be used as classroom projects or homework assignments. Teachers will appreciate that the projects help to satisfy the science inquiry recommendations of the national science standards, as well as many of the content standards. And it's so much fun! Challenges include things like make an awesome balloon rocket, grow a crystal, and design a solar cooker. Each challenge will give essential background information, connections to real-life science challenges, and hints for experimentation.
