Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,
I really need a catchy science fair project title asap and would appreciate any help! My project is testing whether gender affects short-term memory and my hypothesis is that the female brain will perform better on a short-term memory test than the male brain (testing done among high school students).

Hello,

Are you sure you need a "catchy" title? I'm happy to help with that, but keep in mind that at the high school level, most science fair projects should be titled unambiguously with what they are testing. One good formula to use is "The Effect of ____ on _____", where the first blank is the independent variable and the second is the dependent variable. Maybe something more specific to your project would be "Assessing Differences in ____ according to ____", where the blanks are now flipped (dependent first, independent second).

Thanks so much for your advice about the title! It was very informative and helpful!!

Sure thing. Glad to hear it helped!
