Biology Science fair projects about our Earth’s ecosystem. The projects are simple and fun and if you do not mind getting dirty you will enjoy working with soil in these interesting earth projects. Biology Science fair projects about our Earth’s ecosystem. The projects all use the scientific method of experimenting and writing up the results. If you follow the process you will find how simple and how much fun you will have and you will be surprise at how well your project will look. Some of the experiments include: comparing life-forms in different ecosystems, studying how animals protect themselves from extreme cold, discovery how sunlight affect living things and the ecosystem. These mentioned are only a few of the experiments included in this book.
This earth book will get kids thinking about how the earth around us give us so much and we barely know how to take care of it. All of the experiments have suggestions that could make your project a potential winning science fair project.
Includes:science project ideas, plenty of illustrations,appendix, glossary,further reading, internet addresses, and index. Diaz, Magna

Genetics and Evolution Science Fair Projects
Gardner, Robert Genetics and Evolution Science Fair Projects
Enslow 2010 160p 34.60 978-0-7660-3422-8 elm/ms Biology Science Projects Using the Scientific Method (Enslow) This book begins by explaining the scientific method in painstaking detail, moves on to classification, and then discusses a number of major scientific breakthroughs and related experiments and projects that the reader can perform. The organization is meticulous, and the author goes through explanations of the scientific method very thoroughly ... the student may be tempted to skip some of this, and it is recommended that the teacher “assign” certain chapters to the student who is about to create a science project based on the topics in this book. The author is very careful to talk about things like the washing of hands, getting an adult to help with certain aspects of the experiments, etc., and the student may find this tedious. However, it is to the author’s credit that he points out these precautions and takes care to describe every step of each experiment so thoroughly. In the course of learning about the experiments, the student will learn a bit about Darwin, Mendel, genetics, and evolution. In addition to good illustrations and charts, and the bibliography and index, there is a helpful appendix that lists science supply companies. Kennedy, Carol

Flip, Float, Fly: Seeds on the move. by JoAnn Early Macken
Macken, JoAnn Early. Flip, Float, Fly: Seeds on the move.
Holiday House, 2008, 32p, $16.95, 978-0-8234-2043-8.
Illustrates the journeys taken by different kinds of seeds.
This nicely illustrated children’s book visually shows the wonders of seeds and how they germinate. Both the text and the illustrations show how various seeds from plants and trees are carried by wind, rain, or animals to new locations, where they can set down roots and grow. There is a good balance between the illustrations, showing the different seasons, and the text, which simplifies the life cycle of seedlings for beginning scientists. The illustrations will attract young readers with both the color palette and the close-up diagram of the different seeds. A picture glossary is included. This is a perfect pairing with A Seed is Sleepy.
Recommended for preschools and elementary schools. RZ
