Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I am doing the you nailed it project and when I turned in my log my teacher gave me 2/5 on my problem section. She wants the problem written as a question.

Ex: ____ need(s) _____ because _____

I wrote the problem is how much force does it take to drive a nail through different types of wood.

I am confused how to put this in a question???

Hi,

I'm a little confused about the format your teacher is requesting for your problem. The problem, "How much force does it take to drive a nail through different types of wood?" is written as a question already.

You could try something like: "Does if require more force to drive a nail through oak wood because oak wood is a type of hardwood?" I would ask your teacher to clarify what she's looking for, and then let us know if you need more help.

Hope this helped,
Allison
