• A detailed “how-to” section with guidance and examples
• An “Ask an Expert” bulletin board where scientists and engineers answer student questions

Science project sponsors may include:

• Schoolteachers
• Parents
• Scientists at local research facilities (e.g., Eagle-Picher)
• Faculty at institutions (e.g., MSSU, Pitt State)
