Science Fairs Plus: Reinventing an Old Favorite, Grades K-8 (e-book)

At last: a sure cure for science fair fatigue. This new book -- a collection of 20 articles from NSTA's member journals for elementary, middle, and high school teachers -- is bound to re-energize the way you plan and produce these mainstay events. The articles explore all aspects of getting ready for a science fair. You'll learn how to help students pick their projects; understand what makes for fair judging; and create innovative alternatives, including festivals and expos. Several articles even debate the pros and cons of sponsoring a science fair. You'll find yourself turning again and again to the back of the book which features an up-to-date annotated bibliography of science fair and project books and an annotated list of Web sites. Highly practical and wide-ranging, Science Fairs may be the only guide you'll ever need to run successful fairs at your school.
