Measuring the speed of light with a microwave oven
How would I go about citing the background research from that project?

Hello UndeadDeadAaron,
I'm assuming that you are working on the project described here:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p056.shtml
My suggestion is to cite the project as shown on the “summary” tab under “cite this page”. If you only want to cite the “background” tab you could add “#background” to the URL part of the citation.
Two different citation styles are shown (MLA and APA). Use the style required by your teacher or science fair. If not specified you can use either style but be sure to use the same style with other citations in your report.
More information on your final report and how to write a bibliography can be found at the following links:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... nal-report
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... mla-styles
I hope this helps. Please post again if you have more questions.
A. Norman
