100 Amazing Make-It-Yourself Science Fair Projects (Science Fair Projects)

Rating:
Summary: I kept finding amazing mistakes.
Review: I am disppointed in this book of poor directions and mistakes. The directions are not clear. The directions are not in proper order (we ruined a 6-volt battery because of the steps). The materials are not all listed in the material list in some of the projects. However, if you really want students to experiment and think, this book is it because they have to figure out what the directions really should say.

Review: If this is the first project for you, this book is a little hard to follow.

Review: Safe for ages and ages of fun. i love the way it describes its experiments and the pictures. It also helped to tell whether or not i need a grown-up or not. The only problem i had with it was the projects themselves. there were a lot of fun ones but there weren't enough of them to keep me busy. I guess i understand to the point where you could only put 50 projects in but make them a little more interesting and you've got it down pat.

Review: The ideas are great. The instructions are terrible. I have found so many errors in the book such as listing materials in the instructions which are not in the material list. The material list gives very little information such as which brand of mint box. The pictures and the instructions do not seem to always go togethers I have also spent many hours tracking down some of the materials due to the outdated supplies. The instructions do not fully explain things, such as which wire goes to the negative and which wire goes to the positive battery terminal. I want my students to experiment, but not to re-invent the experiment due to the poor instuctions. I have been very disappointed.
