everything you need for winning science fair projects, grades 5-7

"Middle school students will find everything they need to design experiments that demonstrate the physics of sound, electromagnetism, and motion, to name a few. Friedhoffer uses everyday objects, such as kitchen utensils, doorbells, familiar critters, and readily available substances--air and water--to create winning science fair projects for middle school kids. Friedhoffer's step-by-step instructions enable kids to create their own independent science fair projects."--Publisher's website
