Creating Science Fair Projects with Cool New Digital Tools

Preparing a science fair project can be intimidating for some students. This useful guide shows readers how digital tools, most of them available for free online, can make the process easier. Simultaneously, the book provides a step-by-step walk-through for creating a project—from finding a topic by using an online brainstorming app, to putting together a presentation with video software. Other helpful hints include scientific database sources other than familiar search engines such as Google, suggestions for graphing programs to visualize data, and ideas for coordinating data in group projects. Engaging sidebars and photographs help ensure that even computer-savvy students are likely to discover something new in these pages. Back matter contains a glossary, relevant organizations, a link to publisher-selected Web sites, further reading, a bibliography, and an index.
