How fizzy is soda pop after it's warmed up? What happens to a rubber band that's "stressed out" by being left outside? Which types of clothing keep you warmest, and why? Find out the answers and take top prize at the school science fair with these 47 hands-on and appealing "blue ribbon" chemistry experiments. Test chemical trickery in processed foods; the concept of pH; viscosity; carbonization; fermentation; evaporation; dilution; and lots more. Identify the minerals in water we normally can't see. Make litmus paper with cabbage juice, and use it to separate the sweet pickles from the sour...without taking a bite! Mix a batch of great new colors with food dyes and sugar--and eat the results when you're done! A really WINNING combination of learning and fun.

Do all onions cause your eyes to tear when you cut them? What happens if you heat a carbohydrate? How is an electric cell made? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, student scientists can learn the answers to these questions and more. For students interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.

Are some pennies denser than others? Does heat have weight? How can you calculate the energy released when steam condenses? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, student scientists can learn the answers to these questions and more. For students interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.

Blood, gore, and mystery—now, that’s way cool! Kids just love crime scene investigations, and they’ll get a thrill from turning their passion into a blue-ribbon science fair project. This fantastic color collection presents more than 20 great experiments, broken into exciting topics such as blood and guts, eyewitness accounts, and physical evidence. Best of all, children use actual CSI techniques: they’ll lift fingerprints, extract DNA, record skid marks, and see what a few key clues can reveal about a crime. Then they get to analyze the data, and come to their own conclusions. And don’t worry: there are no real crime scenes, dead bodies, or even suspects involved! (For example, an old steak demonstrates the process of decomposition.) In addition to the awesome projects, there’s tons of fun CSI history, careers, and cases.

Volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes! Fossils, glaciers, and crystals! Earth science has so many fun topics to explore, and this book is the best place to start understanding geology. Young scientists will learn about the Earth’s layers, understand the forces that change our planet’s surface, and explore how rocks, minerals, and crystals form. For students interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.
