Homer Township Public Library

We're a few weeks into the school year, so it's Science Fair time again! With a Homer Township library card, you can search encyclopedias, magazine articles, and science news in the Find It Online area of our Web site. The New Book of Popular Science, part of the Grolier Online reference suite, might be especially useful.

For project ideas, the E-Journal of Student Research is an excellent website. (It's a little old and is browsable only by the journal's issue dates, but there are a lot of experiments listed.) Here are a few more good sites for science fair research:

• How Stuff Works
• Kathy Schrock's Guide: Science & Technology
• List of "Ask a Scientist" Sites
• Scifair.org: The Ultimate Science Fair Resource
• ScI-Journal

Inside the Library, we've set up special shelves of science fair project and reference books. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask!
