Review
Advice on science fair basics and tested science projects are provided in a title directed to elementary-school audiences. This covers nine disciplines, from botany to zoology, with each project thoroughly explained and described. Most science fair titles are fairly limited by subject: the scope and presentation of this makes it recommendable above others. -- Midwest Book Review
