About this product
Product Information
Salvatore Tocci's Science Fair Success in the Hardware Store gives students the opportunity to examine another place where science can be explored, -a hardware store. Readers will learn about physics and chemistry by performing experiments with materials that they can find in their local hardware stores. Readers will gain insights into the working of electrons, electricity and magnetism, chemical reactions, and much more. Terrific ideas for further experimentation can be used to create original science fair projects.Product Identifiers

ReviewsThis book expands a series aimed at helping students to produce winning science fair projects while encouraging experimentation. The author intends the experiments in the book to provide a stimulus to develop a science fair project. Having just finished serving as a judge in a middle school science fair, I can only applaud his efforts. Using materials available in hardware stores and around many homes, he describes protocols that illustrate a variety of electrical, chemical, and physical principles. Particularly impressive is the stress laid on the role of control experiments in being able to interpret experimental results, a cornerstone of the scientific method that is often neglected in teaching secondary school experimental science. Having said that, little use is made of this concept in the experiments described in the book. The experiments are titled as questions specifying what you want to learn by doing the experiment -- a good habit to get into. A proper experiment asks a question rather than proves an expectation. This attitude allows the experimenter to learn more about the system if she is observant.
