The introduction at the beginning of the book provides helpful guidance for using the scientific method for accuracy when conducting experiments. It also gives tips for getting started, keeping a project journal, writing a report of your findings, and displaying your final result in an attractive manner. For each project, there is a list of items needed posted in the upper left hand corner of the page. Complete instructions guide you through each project, from start to finish. A description of the expected results helps you to gage whether your experiment is a success. Finally, there is a brief explanation of why the process works the way it does. Whether your interest lies in working with electricity, or whether you prefer studying insects or plants, this book has something for everyone. The only hard part will be deciding which fascinating concoction to try first! ~ Rachel P.
