Hi,

Yes, the bibliography. It's very important for your research paper and your science board. I think you did this really great project from the Science Buddies website.

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p027.shtml

The bibliography should have references on the significance of iron as a nutrient, as this will give your project the scientific basis for doing the project. You should also have references for method of measuring iron in food.

The Wikipedia article has 10 references on this topic, several of which are from scientific journals. Look up some of the articles and see if you can understand them.

Here's a reference from the Colorado State Univeristy Extension website.

Here's a reference using a method called atomic absorption. The Science Buddies project website provides a references for extracting iron from cereal with a magnet and weighing it.

You can find more references on your topic by searching for "analysis of iron in food," and "iron and nutrition."


Good luck, Let us know if you need anything else.
