For further investigations into the project, Juliana would continue doing research which would look at the possible effect of the thickness and density of different carpets and the effect this would have on sound absorption. When choosing a topic for a science project, Juliana recommends selecting a topic which you personally find very interesting, so that your interest shines through the project and makes others interested to find out more from your results. |
