This 31-minute video complements our middle school and high school programs and will add depth to your students' knowledge and understanding of experimental methods. First, the important steps in producing a quality science project are illustrated, from choosing the topic to practicing for the interview. Then, with case studies, the viewer critiques six projects: Was the sample large enough? Was a control used? Were variables properly managed? By systematically analyzing these projects, students, teachers (and judges!) will gain a greater understanding of science projects and valid experimental methods. This is an excellent program to illustrate scientific methods and includes our most comprehensive 70-page reproducible science fair handbook.
