BookPublisher: Arlington: NSTA Press, 2013Description: vii;75p.; pb 11x8.5.ISBN: 9781936959228.Subject(s): Science projects -- juvenile literature | Science -- experiments -- juvenile literature | Science fairsDDC classification: 507.8 Summary: Even science fair enthusiasts may dread grappling with these two questions:
1. How can you organize many high school students doing many different projects at the same time?
2. How can you help students while giving them the freedom of choice and independence of thought that characterize genuine inquiry?
Answer the questions—and face science fairs without fear—with the help of this book from the Science Fair Warm-Up series. This book, for grades 8–12, further develops the ideas about the practices of scientists. In addition, many of the problems students will encounter are very challenging, so much so that the problems have been used with both grade 8 students and university science graduates in field testing. In addition to offering original investigations, the book provides problem-solving exercises to let students hone the inquiry skills to carry projects through independently.
To help you meet your teaching goals, the series is based on the constructivist view that makes students responsible for their own learning, aligns with national standards, and uniquely addresses the new Framework for K–12 Science Education. Science Fair Warm-Up will prepare both you and your students for science fair success. But even if you don’t have a science fair in your future, the material can make your students more proficient with scientific research.
