A couple of folks have been asking me for a while for the resource page I had put together for the JLS Middle School Science Fair while building out a web site for the fair to help with publicity and organization. I ran the science fair for 3 years with some other JLS parents and a JLS staff representative (and the strong support of the principal Joe Di Salvo). While it was a lot of work, it was a blast to see 350+ kids bring in their work over two days and talk directly to the judges that we brought in from the community. I'll write more about that experience this summer.
The resource page lists everything I have known and used over the years to get kids to have fun with science - including books, videos, museums, activities, birthday gift suggestions etc. By popular demand, it is now cached here besides its usual location on the JLS Science Fair Web Site. It'll be stashed under the ThinkerTinker area.
