A Book For Kids that are Crazy About Science and Inventing Isaac Farmer figured the best way to win the science fair was to make the judges think he could save the planet, so he did this big display on "green" stuff. He put in everything he could think of (like solar power and wind power and stream power and outhouse power) and made it sound like it all worked and he understood everything. All he really did was copy stuff off the Internet. It fooled the judges and he won, but then the adults in his world got involved and Isaac had to actually build something that actually worked. He finds out that science is as much about working with other people as it is about working with things, and that's not an easy lesson for Isaac.
