REVIEW
The Iron Science Teacher site is not only interesting and entertaining but it offers science teachers some fun and engaging ideas for the classroom. The demonstrations are created around a particular ingredient such as a plastic bag, a milk carton, or a nail. The archive of competitions is grouped by topic such as household items, holidays, kitchen items, desk items and the recycling bin. Some of the particular items used include candles, chocolate, pumpkins, corks, Jello and water bottles. Included is a link to the entire archive that goes all the way back to 1999.
