In this innovative new series, Janice VanCleave shows junior high and high school students how to devise and produce challenging science experiments without using complicated and expensive equipment. Each book features 30 fascinating experiment ideas --everything from studying weather by creating clouds in a soda bottle to exploring physiology by measuring the respiration of common house plants. Detailed background information and definitions are provided for each investigation. Once the experiment is completed, students are encouraged to probe deeper. They ask questions, create additional experiments, and develop their own theories and conclusions. Janice shows how to use these independent discoveries to produce science projects that get top grades, earn extra credit, and reveal how science really works. In BIOLOGY, potential science projects probe topics such as botany, zoology, physiology, cell division, photosynthesis and ecology.VanCleave, Janice Pratt is the author of 'Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Biology: Winning Experiments for Science Fairs and Extra Credit - Janice Pratt Vancleave - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780471586296 and ISBN 0471586293.
