A science fair project is an opportunity for teens to choose a subject of interest, investigate it using the scientific method, and share their findings. While the scientific method never goes out of date, much about science fair research and presentation has changed with the advent of digital tools. Readers learn how they can use digital tools to brainstorm a question, research and take notes, collaborate with teammates, record and organize data, and create presentations using multimedia. As required by the Common Core, readers learn to use technology to produce and publish their work and to collaborate with others.

      Gr 6 Up-Maybe you and your students are familiar with apps like Evernote, SlideShare, Voki, and Dropbox. But how about Jing? Stupeflix? Cacoo, anyone? This up-to-the-minute series identifies and discusses dozens of new and evolving tools for developing, sharing, and presenting ideas. Polling apps and phone-based teleprompters give debaters a leg up on their opponents; web-based reaction timers make data collection easier during science experiments; and citation software organizes sources and formats a writer's bibliography automatically. These books excel in identifying apps and information sources but stop short of critiquing strengths and weaknesses, possibly because new digital tools are frequently updated and enhanced, meaning that any detailed review would quickly become obsolete. The books are also intensely text heavy, which seems at odds with their subject. A few screenshots are used as illustrations in each volume along with stock photos of teens in classrooms and adults making presentations. Not perfect, but a welcome addition.
