Ace Your Sports Science Project
What does physics have to do with favorite sports? Readers will use baseball, basketball, football, and other sports to learn about the science behind sports–the Magnus effect, topspin and backspin, center of gravity, and more. Many of these high-interest sports experiments can be used to motivate students to participate in a science fair project.

These three series offer a wealth of information and differ only in the topics they include. All begin with an introduction that discusses science-fair projects and the scientific method and lists safety tips. The texts consist of five chapters of themed experimentsfor example, some of those in Animal Science Project are "Clever Lab and Field Studies" and "Studying Human Behavior." The chapters introduce the concepts and the experiments that follow demonstrate them. Many entries conclude with ideas for science-fair projects; as in the publisher's "Score! Sports Science Projects" series, they are indicated by a trophy symbol.
