This book teaches students about the science process and prepares them for applying science skills at a higher learning level. Students develop basic research skills and continue onto advanced skills needed for developing complex experiments, writing formal research papers, and presenting scientific research.FEATURES:Students actively participate using this student version of Students and ResearchSafety precautions are listed at the beginning of the bookChapter objectives provide a clear summary of what students can expect to learnPerforated pages and worksheets make it convenient and easy to useVarious levels of sophistication so students begin with structured activities, do practice problems, and then reach the world class level where they design their own experimentsClassroom sets provide a complete classroom resource for students and teachersFocuses on Standard A for the Science Contest Standards for grades 5-8 and 9-12 of the National Science Education Standards (NSES)

Science Experiments by the Hundreds develops inquiry skills of beginning researchers. Students can turn their interests into their own original experiments. This book stresses that learning to experiment is an important part of knowing science, as well as a useful strategy for solving everyday problems.The new edition includes nanotechnology experiments for every chapter. Students will be introduced to and develop an understanding for this revolutionary science used in many of today's products.Through numerous experiments using materials commonly found within homes, students learn the basic parts of an experiment, strategies for writing safe procedures, methods for analyzing data, and effective ways to write about and present experimental results. Practice problems and methods of self-assessment are found throughout the book.Science Experiments by the Hundreds is recommended for upper-elementary advanced learners and middle school students. It is effective in classrooms, home-schools, or informal science settings.Review copies are available as 60-day review only.
