Need a blue-ribbon science project? Here's a treasure trove of super experiments to carry out: construct a simple circuit; exercise a little "Sun Power" with a solar cell; produce carbon dioxide with vinegar and baking soda; hatch some brine shrimp; stop food from spoiling; and lots more. Each project is carefully broken down to show what's going on at every stage, and includes hints for impressing adults, inquiry ideas, and key terms. What makes this guide extra special, though, is that it also explains how to think like a scientist when choosing an experiment, gathering research, and assembling it all. Plus: advice on displaying the final results in awesome style, and on animal rights and wrongs, too. Try these and you'll win!
