How Does It Work?
Why does it do that? Develop an elemental understanding of magnetism, electromagnetism, electrochemistry, radio, thermodynamics, light and optics. Simon Quellen Field's 228-page paperback, Gonzo Gizmos, Projects & Devices to Channel your Inner Geek explains processes, equipment and scientific terms -- and then, for starters, tells you things like how to make a rotary steam engine in 15 minutes from a soda can, a candle and a few scraps of rubber tubing. It's the favorite of our resident geeks -- but not for kids unless they're working with an adult. That would be a mature adult. An insured, mature adult.

CSI-Science Fair
You say you can't get your kids interested in nanotechnology? Try a little something closer to the cable box with Lark Books' "Crime Scene Science Fair Projects." It's a 112pp hardcover book with full-color illustrations and photos, along with step-by-step instructions for experiments with blood, DNA, lie detection, print casting, handwriting analysis, document recovery, and for gathering data from chemicals, soil, insect and fiber remains. Geared to middle-schoolers, and no, you don't need an actual crime scene. (Most of their bedroom floors will do nicely.)

Science Secrets
For more "interesting" science fairs. "Secret Science," by TV science guru Steve Spengler, is a 96pp paperback with (25) science experiments that "your teacher doesn't know about." Unless, of course, he or she has this book. Fun anyway, we think. Lots of things to blow up, overflow, fly around and make a general nuisance of yourself with. Most all use ordinary household materials, and there are some very clever experiments, like extracting iron from breakfast cereal. For ages 9-12.
