How can you help students while giving them the freedom of choice and independence of thought that characterize genuine inquiry? Answer the questions-- and face science fairs without fear-- with help from the Science Fair Warm-Up series. The Science Fair Warm-Up series, which was originally designed as a three-year program for middle school students, now covers grades 5- 12. The book for grades 5- 8 introduces students to science fairs and invites them to investigate various scientific problems as they work on their projects. This book lays the foundation for the editions for grades 7- 10 and 8- 12, in which students encounter increasingly more challenging problems. Over the course of the series, the students are encouraged to become more independent. The series' material-- field tested over the course of six years with students at different levels-- will help your students develop the inquiry skills to carry their projects through, whether they're middle schoolers preparing for their first science fair or high schoolers ready for very challenging investigations. It aligns with national standards and the new Framework for K-12 Science Education. Science Fair Warm-Up uniquely provides an authentic picture of how scientists carry out research. To help you meet these teaching goals, this series is based on the constructivist view that makes students responsible for their own learning and will prepare both you and your students for science fair success.

Science Fair Warm-Up, Teachers Guide: Learning the Practice of Scientists provides all of the information you need to guide your students through the activities included in this book. To the student: If you have used Science Fair Warm-Up, Grades 5- 8, you already have a pretty good idea of what a science fair project or real scientific investigation is like; if not, don't worry. Science Fair Warm-Up, Grades 7- 10 provides you with the opportunity to choose a great project. For instance, you might carry out experiments that explore the mysteries of suffocating candles when they are deprived of air or the possibility of improving a water pump designed by the great Greek scientist Archimedes. If you prefer, you can select an inquiry of your own and even work with a partner. As you work on your project, your teacher will give you help along the way. Together you will explore some of the more difficult problems other students have encountered: problems of designing and carrying out experiments, collecting and making sense of your findings, and sharing and reporting on what you have learned. As you follow in the footsteps of scientists, you will learn about the ways in which scientists carry out scientific research and begin to understand how they have uncovered so much about how our universe works.
