Guide Review
A+ Projects in Biology
In this well written book, VanCleave provides thoughtful information about science fair projects. Thirty suggestions for projects, from physiology to photosynthesis, are provided. Each suggestion provides detailed information that will assist a student in completing a project about the specific topic.

This book is particularly useful for biology students as it encapsulates information usually found in several sources. The book subdivides the projects into areas such as Botany, the Human Body, and Zoology to make it easy to locate particular ideas.

This book is targeted toward middle school and high school students. Teachers may also want to provide a copy for students since it is a general and introductory text about science projects.
