NovaStar15,

Welcome and thank you for your question. The science fair guide on this website has a good description of an abstract and how to write one. The link can be found at the top of the forum site and in my signature block below. Find the part on abstracts in the communicating results section. If you still have questions after you read that, don't hesitate to post them here.
Hope this helps.
