To my mom, Jean Haren.

Bravo to all the exhibitors at the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, who gave me so many great projects to choose from. Most especially, I want to give a big hand to the students who graciously allowed me to use their projects in this book.

Thanks also to my agent, Matt Wagner at Waterside Productions, who played matchmaker between Wiley Publishing, Inc. and me. Kudos to the editors at Wiley: Tracy Boggier who helped birth this project and Allyson Grove who nurtured it throughout its development. And a special vote of gratitude to Shirley Parrish, Director of the Management Committee of the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, who served as technical editor for this book, keeping me on the scientific straight and narrow.

Appreciation to my supporters and fans, Kathie Wickstrand Gahen, my coach, and Patricia Dibsie, fellow writer, best friend, and partner in crime.

Loving thanks to my awesome sons, Michael Bruce Iritz and Stuart Allen Iritz, whose science fair projects got me started on this path.

Introduction

Y ikes! I have to do a science project! If youve never done one before, but have heard horror stories about them, youre probably dreading the whole thing. Contrary to popular belief, doing a science project isnt the 21st century equivalent of medieval torture. True, you may be required to do some hard work, and you may feel at times like you can never get through it, but youll survive, without any visible scars.

In fact, help is on the way. Welcome to Science Fair Projects For Dummies, where you find out everything you can possibly want to know about doing a science fair project (but were afraid to ask). In this book, I plan to demystify the whole process and make it easy and fun for you.

The good news is that you already have a lot of the abilities that you need. Do you like to write? The research paper gives you a place to show off your way with words. If youre an artist in the making, you can have fun creating an attractive project display. If youre persistent, never giving up until you find the answer, research is made for you. And if youre crazy about details, lists, and statistics, I know you can keep excellent, precise records.
