Community Review for Science Buddies
My Take
As a teacher and parent, I was pleased with the experts showcased on this website.
The guides and examples of science projects are resources I would recommend as a starting place and also to expand students' science educational studies and future careers.
How I Use It
The flow charts for scientists and engineers side by side were very helpful. I believe it encourages students to use both scientific and engineering thinking and not a "cookie cutter" science fair project to "copy" and turn in. The experts and the resources encourage the academic development. I am using the newsletters as references.

Science Never Seemed So Simple
I like how this app is set up and how engaging it is (which is most of the battle!!) It lets students explore, learn, and grow-though I would venture to say that this is not for younger students, though 3rd and up would have a great time!

This is the site for students who say "I don't know what to do for my Science Fair Project". Students can find answers to all their questions about how to successully complete a project and have fun while you are doing it!
Science Buddies is a great addition to a teacher's list of resources for Science Fair Projects. It is a comprehensive guide that provides students with all the tools that are needed to generate an idea and complete the project. As far readability the site is designed for students grades 4 and up. Younger grades would need much help from teacher or parents. The resource guide for students, parents and teachers is comprehensive and user friendly. The idea generator and Ask an Expert feature is a bonus and offers students additional resources. One of the best features is the library of ideas that students can look through in order to generate their own idea. It is divided into domain areas which it easier to search and for the gamer lovers offers a Video & Computer Games section. Overall this is an excellent site that will help students complete Science Fair Projects. I did not like the Project Kit sales section, but other than that this site is one great resource for parent, students and teachers.
