1. What should the title be? (I posted my questions earlier)
2. What should I use as an effective model?
3. How should I write my report?
Thanks!
Hello, kevindakilla!
Unfortunately, your questions are way too general for me to answer directly without doing your work for you, but I think I can offer some advice.
First of all, make sure you read the relevant portions of the Science Buddies web site. This page looks pretty good as a starter:

It is my opinion that you should select a title that reflects the purpose of your project and is interesting enough that it would catch the eye of someone walking by. For example, if my project were to test drinking water for purity, I might use a title, "What Are You Drinking?" or "Is Your Drinking Water Safe?" Both communicate my goal - water purity - and do it in a way that makes someone stop and think. "Hey, is that *my* water he's talking about?" So I think you should give some thought to the purpose of your project. Answer the question, "Why should I care?"
I'm not sure what you mean by "effective model" in this context. I assume you are talking about your approach to your project. It all goes back to your overall goal. What are you trying to prove or show? I read your previous post on this subject, and it seems like you have a few goals to choose from. It might be good to pick just one thing and focus on doing it extremely well.
As for your report, does your teacher or sponsor have an example you could look at to get ideas? Have you done science project reports before? If so, how did they work out? What did you learn from them, and what would you change for this project? The Science Buddies web page I referenced, above, provides a link to a sample report layout that you may find helpful.
Enjoy your project! It sounds really cool.
