Science fair question

Post by Jackie Nicole »

Hi I'm doing a science fair project on the durability of nail polish, comparing polish with and with out formaldehyde.
Can you help me formulate a question?

Hi Jackie

It sounds like you've got an interesting idea for a project. It sounds like this is your main question: "Does formaldehyde affect the durability of nail polish?"
Is that right? Here's a great link on the science buddies site that talks about formulating a scientific question:

The next step is to decide how you are going to test "durability"?
