ABSTRACT HELP

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

Hello. According to the link below, most competitions limit your abstract to 250 words, but check with your teacher and science fair to be sure.

The abstract should relay the most important information from your experiment in a condensed version of your report. Pretend you are an outsider interested in your experiment and conclusions. What information is important for you to learn without having to read the entire report? The link above gives great advice on what to and not to include in your abstract.

I hope this helps. Be sure to write back if you have further questions. Good luck!
