Synopsis
Budding young scientists will have fun learning the step-by-step process of conducting science experiments.
Scientific results are meant to be shared with others. Does the data collected during your experiment support the hypothesis? Discover some fun and interesting ways to report your results.
Children's Literature
Building upon the knowledge gained in the previous books, the last book in the "Step into Science" series discusses the results of the experiment, what the data means, and ways to report and share the information. Starting with the idea that mistakes or errors in forming the hypothesis can still provide useful information, the author highlights examples from history and current science and the importance of drawing the proper conclusions and the reporting the results. For the student, sharing the results includes the use of the journal, Internet, science fairs, and display boards. The two experiments require the reader to formulate a conclusion and ask additional questions raised during the experiment. The glossary and resource page provide extra information, and a time line features a list of scientific discoveries and the affect they had on the study of science. Reviewer: James Rutkowski
