Encyclopedia and Dictionary Resources |
The following list of encyclopedias, dictionaries and other free online reference
materials are a great source of information for science fair projects. For
"offline" resources, I would recommend checking out
the
science section of World Book which has a great selection of CD's, books and encylopedias
including one on science fairs .

Columbia Encyclopedia hosted by Bartleby.com |
 The Columbia Encyclopedia
has everything except pictures! This
free online encyclopedia resource is hosted at several sites, but
Bartleby.com seems to be the least obnoxious. Although the articles are concise, there
is plenty of useful material available.
They also have a dictionary and some other
reference materials available.

Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia |
 Wikipedia is a free
online encyclopedia that virtually anyone is allowed to edit. It's
very easy to find what you are looking for, and more importantly, when you
find it, the information about your topic is generally huge! Check out their
science portal which has
gobs of material that you can use for your free science fair projects. You
will not regret a visit to this website.
Wikipedia can be a great research tool, but not everything in Wikipedia
is complete and accurate. Although they have an excellent system in place
to keep it up-to-date and accurate, because of it's open nature, it is open to vandalism.
That being said, it is an incredibly useful place for finding information.
Although I wouldn't probably cite Wikipedia as a source, the sources listed at the
bottom of each article are priceless!
