First Place Science Fair Projects for Inquisitive Kids

Publishers Summary:
Will my hot chocolate cool down faster if I add the cold milk now or later? Will ketchup flow faster if it's stirred first? Taking first place in the science fair has never been so much fun! These biology, chemistry, and physics experiments, devised by a real scientist and former high school chemistry teacher, really rock.

Also, there's great advice on designing your own experiments, catching errors that could affect the results; and presenting the project so that it will impress the judges.
