<p>Hey guys, I thought I'd start a science thread to help myself and others who might be interested in scientific research figure out how it's done. </p>
<p>I've always been really interested in science, and have even done a bit of independent research by myself, but I've never entered a science fair or developed a complex research project before. I'm interested in learning about the process involving designing a research project, setting up the experiment, and entering into science fairs. I've been looking into state science fairs, Siemens and INTEL recently. So many kids have created such brilliant projects, so I thought I'd try to get in on the fun :)</p>
<p>If anyone knows how the whole process works, or has advice for beginners, or who can give me a synopsis of their personal experience such as their initial question, what research they did, how they designed their experiment, etc, that would be greatly appreciated :)</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
