Presents cross-curricular strands aimed at gearing science toward students whose interest does not lay in the research aspect of the subject while still maintaining the project format established as an essential part of the physics class. (MKR)

Presents an activity that demonstrates a crude method of mapping the sea floor and helps students appreciate some basic considerations that scientists face in working with a project of this type. Demonstrates the logistics of teamwork and the effects of time and cost limitations on science projects. (JRH)

Suggested are activities that might stimulate cognitive thought in students and which can be performed both in school and at home. (EB)

Describes a secondary project in which students must organize an expedition to settle the people of the Earth on a new planet. (MLH)

Described are research topics, activities, and experiences that were a major part of a two-week workshop sponsored as a starting point in the study of Bicentennial Science. (EB)

Sixteen different suggestions are given to parents for helping their children with science fair projects. Among the 16 suggestions included are contacting people who have expertise in science, helping the child obtain pertinent information, keeping a daily log of research activities. (DS)

Describes a project by secondary-level students of constructing a rain forest in a 14-by-14-by-8 meter space in a shopping mall. (PR)

Describes procedures that can help students to make model geodes from eggshells, copper sulfate, and other crystalforming substances. (HM)

The article outlines an activity for providing a hands-on opportunity for elementary and middle school science students to study the theory of the earth's crustal change over the past several hundred million years. The theory of continents drifting away from one super continent is presented with the supportive evidence that scientists have…

Discusses the educational values of participating in science fairs, and outlines the procedure used at Saint Ursula Academy, Toledo, to interest each biology student in an individual investigation. (JR)

Describes school science activities in which students race model cars built from mousetraps, construct inventions using discarded junk, and compete in an egg dropping contest. (SL)
