Last-minute science projects

Do your students wait until the last minute to get started on Science projects? No problem. Each experiment in this resource follows the scientific method, and can be completed in an hour or less. Readers will model a chemical reaction, discover how small a molecule is, and find out what happens when atoms jump from one molecule to another. Most experiments also include ideas for science fair projects in case your readers have extra time.

"Find out how energy is stored, transferred, and changed, what conducts and what stores heat, and how to change matter from a solid to a liquid to a gas"--

Describes experiments involving simple machines that follow the scientific method, and can be completed in an hour or less. Explore using levers to control motion and lift, and how the steepness of inclined planes affects the force needed to move something. Most experiments also include ideas for science fair projects.
