Over two million Janice VanCleave A+ Science Fair Projects books were sold. The book teaches students how to do a science fair project. It consists of the scientific method, topic research, categories, the project research, the project review, the experimental data, project summaries, the display, and the presentation and evaluation. It also gives you ideas about science fair questions, and what are the most important aspects of each question. This book taught me what to put in my science fair, and how to make people understand my question and purpose. It also teaches what type of testable questions you could use, and shows the difference between a testable and a non testable question.
This book is useful for my science fair because it is the book I used to find my science fair question and purpose, it has all the useful information to help me design a decent science fair. During the past 2 years in middle school we have been trying to learn about how to make a science fair project, and this book is justifying what I have learned. Physical science is the branch of my content, because my project will have chemicals, and I will use different solutions.
I would recommend this book to every science teacher because it would help teachers give students ideas for science fair projects. I would also recommend this book to high school teachers because it consists of helpful information, and very good experiments that could be done by high school students.
