Hi I am an 8th grader starting My Science project and I have been thinking for 1 week for a testable question/research question but I cant seem to get the right one I also need help on a good hypothesis and I wrote one but it seems like i have worked on the hypothesis for 2 minutes. Please help my testable question which will hopefully help my hypothesis writing.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Could you please post your question and hypothesis? We can advise you on your results, but cannot write your report. Please post and we'll try and help!

Thanks.

Hi drewlahaye21,

Science Buddies projects include estimates of the completion time. The “speed of light in gelatin” project described at the following link should take 6-10 days to finish.

Of course you may need more or less time depending on how many hours per day you can spend working on your project.

I hope this helps and good luck with your project. Please ask again if you have more questions.
