Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Chemistry: Winning Experiments for Science Fairs and Extra Credit

well written book contain a wide variety of simple chemistryexperiments with materials obtained in local resources. Clearlywritten & explained, supports typical theory which is betterrealized thru demonstrations.

Janice Vancleave's A+ Projects in Chemistry: Winning Experiments for Science Fairs and Extra Credit is a book that I would recommend to anyone who is having trouble thinking of a science fair project or doesn't know how to go about their experimentation. The book gives a list of what types of projects one might be interested in, which narrows choices down considerably. Janice Vancleave made finding a science project easier by naming and describing specific projects instead of just topics. When explaining a project she gives the materials list, the exact procedure, and the results that one should have. Not only does she include the basic information specifically needed for the project, but she also includes helpful hints on being successful in the display of the project and tells the reasons for the results to end up as they did.This book has been a tremendous help to me. I think that it can help others do fantastic science projects as well. It was easy to find what I was looking for, and when I found it, it was even easier to understand without scientific phraseology that tends be confusing.

Great for extended investigations ideas. A lot of harder level chemistry is accessible which is good for the KS4 years. It has a few areas that are not in the UK curriculum which makes for a nice change towards the end of year.
