From demonstrating gravitational pull to measuring speed and efficiency, your bicycle is a great tool to use when planning your next science fair project. Diagrams, detailed instructions, and photographs make these projects easy to do, earning you that prize at the science fair!

Your winning project is inside! Book jacket.

Presents more than twenty great experiments--broken into topics such as blood and guts, eyewitness accounts, and physical evidence--that allow students to use real CSI techniques to find clues, analyze the data, and come to their own conclusions.

Math and physics often go hand-in-hand. Math and measurements have even played a big role in scientific discovery since ancient times. Use math and measurement as the tools to successfully complete physical science experiments such as figuring out how big a raindrop is, discovering the first units of measure, and more. Many experiments include ideas students can use for their science fair.

New in Paper It's coming sooner than you think--the time to prepare for the next science fair! For projects, for presentation, for blue-ribbon winning ideas, there's no better place to come than here. From thinking of a unique science fair experiment to putting fabulous finishing touches on the display, this cool collection of smart and illustrated projects gives budding scientists everything they need to put together a winner--and have fun doing it, too. Kids have seen all the tricks, and they're tired of science fair books that show them (yawn) how to make the "been there, done that" volcano or another boring model of the solar system. Here are experiments they really want to do, on subjects such as slime, magic sand, video games, mummies, dog germs, horoscopes, bicycles, and more. The whole science fair experience is broken down into small, manageable steps, so youngsters won't feel overwhelmed. All safety precautions are taken, with notes on parental supervision, when necessary.

What is friction? What is the coriolis force? Young scientists will explore the physics of forces and motion with the great experiments in this book. Full-color illustrations highlight key points to make science a snap. Many experiments are followed by ideas for science fair projects. Help students ace their next physics project or test.

How can you tell if a moving object is accelerating? Why are pulleys used to lift objects? Can you observe weightlessness in everyday situations? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, you can learn the answers to these questions and more. If you are interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.
