Creating An Awesome Science Fair Project

Presented by Science Plus Inc.

Scientist and award winning author Steve 'The Dirtmeister' Tomecek demonstrates ways simple 'dirt cheap' materials can be turned into totally awesome science projects. Drawing on his books "Coffee Can Science," "Soda Bottle Science" and "Simple Attractions," Steve explains how scientists identify and isolate variables and design experiments to produce meaningful results. He takes students through the scientific method, demonstrating how materials such as coffee stirrers, water glasses and even Cheerios can be used to create effective science fair projects.
