What ISEF category should I list my science project in?

My project is about if having more drag on your swimsuits make you more tired

Hey Josh,

What an interesting topic!

This website includes all ISEF categories and subcategories and how to classify your project:
https://student.societyforscience.org/i ... categories

As you look through this guide, think of the predominant scientific aspect of your project. The website states, "Ask yourself the following questions to help in the selection of a category:

1. Who will be the most qualified to judge my project? What area of expertise is the most important for the judge to have? (For example, a medical background or an engineering background?)

2. What is the emphasis of my project? What characteristic of my project is the most innovative, unique or important? (For example, is it the application in medicine or the engineering of the machine? Is it inserting the proper gene or the method of computer mapping to demonstrate the results?)"

What is the process of proving your hypothesis? Do you use physics to measure the differences in resistance of drag suits? if so, you should categorize you project under Physics and Astronomy.

I hope this helps, Josh. Let me know if you have any more questions!
