Science Fair Software

If you love science or need an extra boost in a subject, DVDs and CD-ROMs are excellent. They provide outstanding help and background information.

Of all the science fair books on CD-ROM, I strongly recommend the science fair software, Scientific American's The Amateur Scientist: Science Fair Edition. It is widely regarded as the best resources for science fair projects for all ages and skill levels.

Over 1,000 projects, from raising tadpoles to looking for cosmic rays... it's all here. No matter what your level of science expertise, the science fair software - "The Amateur Scientist" has enough to keep you busy for a long time. Runs on Windows 95 or higher, Mac OS, Linux, and UNIX.

Preparing a Science Fair Project DVD This is the newest science fair software on the planet! This program follows one student through the process of preparing a science fair project. It includes everything from gathering materials and processing data to the eventual presentation at local and regional science fairs.

Science Fair Software - Astronomy
The information in these two Science Fair Software Progams can be also be considered for an earth science fair project.

Project: WorkStation
A collection of 78, rich media interactives, movies and animations cover geology, oceanography, meteorology, astronomy, and satellite remote sensing in this science fair software program. Presents science investigations and a number of open-ended astronomy for kids experiments and projects that be used for science fair projects.
Middle through High School grades.

Earth-Ocean-Atmosphere-Space Explorer
Fully interactive virtual labs such as the Rock & Mineral ID Lab allow you to choose between 16 minerals on which to run a battery of tests, including hardness, streak, acid reaction, luminescence, luster, magnetism, cleavage/fracture, color, and specific gravity. The software supplies all of the virtual equipment and provides a Mineral Data Sheet printout form to see the results of your testing. Great science fair software background information and lab. For High School Students.

Science Fair Software - Earth Science

Geology Explorer
A complete investigation of the planet from core to crust, plate tectonics and seismic activity, earthquakes and volcanoes, rocks and minerals with introductory sections that place the Earth within its solar system context. Includes several dozen interactive exercises, earth science experiments, projects, and virtual labs. Grades 9-12.

Earth Science Analysis WorkStation
With this software, the you can investigative projects in meteorology, oceanography and satellite remote sensing, track the latest hurricane or tornado, become a true meteorologist, and create your own movie from actual real-time weather data. Several dozen interactive exercises, science experiments, projects, and virtual labs.
Middle through High School Grades.

Oceans-Climate Explorer
Interactive investigation of the fundamentals of oceanography and meteorology. The invaluable role of water is the focus, as students use multimedia to learn the comprehensive and interesting relationship between water and the Earth's Climate. Several dozen interactive exercises, earth science experiments, projects, and virtual labs. Middle through High School grades.

Weather Forecasting
Imagine forecasting the weather! Learn how to read the skies and to forecast the weather using simple household supplies. Make weather maps, create your own backyard weather station, participate in the worldwide weather watch, and understand the great importance of weather satellites that orbit the Earth.

Water: Vapor, Liquid and Solid
Discover the principles of weather forecasting; observe global weather patterns from the vantage point of a weather satellite, and even build your own weather station from common household components.

Our Living Ocean
Discover how oceanographers determine the depth of light penetration. Light is essential for the microscopic plant life (phytoplankton) in the ocean. Lower a Secchi disk over the side of a virtual research vessel. Think about what science fair topic would interest you from this discussion. How much light do microsopic plants need in order to live? What experiment can you design to answer this question?
