| My name is Rachael McPhail. I play lots of sports, such as gymnastics, soccer and swimming, and I love to sing and play piano. I also really enjoy school. (Evidently science is my favorite subject!) As I go on with this project I have some ideas for future testing. I would like to give students not only a math test, but also a simple reading test. I could also use different physical activities such as football and soccer. Advice I would have for students looking into science fair is, it’s not just how great your idea is, it’s how much work and data is placed behind it. Just like a house needs a firm foundation, your project needs good background information to support it. |
