Science Fair Projects Press Release

January 10 2004--Educator and counselor Madeline Binder announces the launch of a new web site, Super Science Fair Projects in her Super Science Fair Projects Press Release. The site, which is designed to help middle school, jr. high and high school students through the intricacies of science fair projects one step at a time, also includes a parents guide and a teachers resource page.

"The typical science fair project takes two to three months to complete, and that’s a long time for a student to stay motivated and on track," says Ms. Binder. "I wanted to create a site that is not only informative, but also interactive and fun. That’s where Detective ThinkMore comes in."

Detective ThinkMore is a cartoon character who guides the reader (his "rookie") through the process of solving the mystery of science fair projects. A click on the "Secret Files" links them to projects, topics, ideas and experiments as well as additional resources. One Secret File has a unique timeline that helps students stay on track and finish their science fair project on time. Motivational sayings and encouragement are woven throughout the site. On each page of the 22-page site, the detective engages students in conversation while showing how to:

• map a project on a timeline


• keep a science log


• choose a category and topic


• research a project


• complete all six steps of the scientific method


• write a project report and abstract


• make a display board


• give an oral presentation of the project

Students also learn what to do when they are at the science fair and how judges evaluate a project.

The parents guide explains how to coach a child during this process and avoid the temptation of doing it themselves. The teachers resource page is rich with links to:

• classroom ideas, materials and free classroom resources


• internet science fair project sites for kids


• free science newsletters for the classroom


• international and regional science fair competitions


• teacher online accredited science workshops

Madeline Binder, alias Detective ThinkMore, has masters degrees in both Education and Human Services Counseling.

"I went out and visited your site several times and one word: IMPRESSIVE!! I can't imagine the hours you put into this work of art. It is an amazing site and I love the interactiveness to keep students on track. I held a Teachers Workshop here on our campus for teachers in our science fair area, and told them about your site. I also via the computer/overhead projector took them on a tour and encouraged them to utilize your site. As I told them, if you can only use one site, yours is the way to go. It really is the most impressive site I have seen in a long time and I have immediately added a link to your site from ours. Again kudos on your work for our leaders of tomorrow :) "

"I am in the 11th grade. I have been competing in science fairs for the past 4 years. Over the years, I have only placed at a school-based science fair once, and I have never placed at a Regional or National. Well actually nothing past school based. A professor from Louisiana State University told me about this site and I decided to check it out. I was very amazed by the things listed on this site--- step by step instructions on what to do. It makes preparing for the science fair very easy and less stressing. Trust me I will tell all my friends about this site and I will tell you when I get the results if I place or not in Regional and maybe even in National...you may never know."
