The cover of every book in this series is quite colorful and appealing.  However, upon opening the book, the reader is taken-a-back by the stark textbook-like style of the interior…with single spaced, old-style typerwriter font and black and white diagrams that harken back to nonfiction books of another era.  Given that students can actually use the book for the information,  it delivers accurate and effective science projects.  The introduction includes excellent information on Science Fairs, Safety First and the Scientific Method, as well as specific tips on writing a Science Fair Report.  Experiments with seeds, leaves, roots and stems, flowers and whole plants are covered in the six chapters. Back Matter includes Further reading and Index.
