Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Without knowing the details of your project, I suggest that a good title will describe what you found out or what you tried to discover.

So your project might be called: "Using a Cell Phone can be Distracting" or "Responses to Stimuli are slowed down when using a Cell Phone"

Hope that helps a little bit . . .

Think about the essence of your experiment-what short phrase would make you want to read your report? You don't want to give away the results in the title, as in "Cell phone use negatively impacts reaction times", rather "Does cell phone use negatively affect etc."
Let us know what you decide!

Hello thtdancer,

Like what has been previously said, the title of your project should not be too specific; it should be general but still give people an idea about what your project is about.

One idea would be to have a title like "Cell Phone Effect on Reaction Time", or something like that. You don't want to give away too much about your experiment, because people may lose interest. It's best to keep people wondering about what your project is really about.

Hope this helps!
