The most important question you should ask before purchasing this book is, "How does it differ from the many science fair books on the market?"Most books that claim to be about science fairs do not prepare children to do a project. Many offer the reader a book full of science activities instead of a step-by-step guide to science fair success. While these books may be great resources for finding a project idea, they fail to relate the nuts and bolts of developing a successful science fair project.Book chapters take you through the processes of developing a science fair idea through to the final project. The chapter topics are: Is My Data Quantifiable? What Kind of Graph Do I Use and How Do I Display It? Where Do I Get My Idea? Does My Project Have a Purpose? What Controls and Other Variables Should I Consider? What Makes My Project Better than Another? Is My Project Safe and Does It Follow the Rules? How I Put It All Together? and Why Do a Science Fair Project?While purchasing this book will not guarantee your child winning at a school fair, it will help them to do a project the right way.

For anyone who's ever dreamed of ruling over their own empire, here's your chance! Micronations are imaginary countries that have a lot of the same things as real ones: laws, customs, history, and their own flags, coins, and postage stamps. Micronations: Invent Your Own Country and Culture takes readers step-by-step to create their own unique realm, using examples from real nations, micronations, and fictional lands. What makes a country a country? What symbols and systems define a country and help it function? Learn about geography and government, technology and the environment, art and culture, and the literary device of "world-building" used in works like The Hobbit and Harry Potter. Kids get to invent their own language, music, games, clothing, food, and holidays to fit their micronation's tradition. Whether they create a land of time travel where every city exists in a different epoch or an underwater monarchy whose chief export is fish, Micronations: Invent Your Own Country and Culture will engage kids' imagination and teach make-believe rulers how the real world works. This title meets Common Core State Standards for literacy in language arts, history and social studies; Guided Reading Levels and Lexile measurements indicate grade level and text complexity.
