Does my question work?

[Kikajs]

Hello,
This is the first time I have heard about the science fair and I am a bit lost at the very begining - making up a question. Does this question: "How good are humans at telling the difference between a fake or a genuine smile?" seem good enough?
Thank you

Your question sounds fine. You could make it shorter by saying "Can humans tell the difference between a fake or genuine smile?" but I'm being nitpicky.

I assume you are using our project idea about smiles, if not check out this page: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p043.shtml

Take a look at our project guide, which walks you through a science fair project step by step. Just look at the left side of the page under "How to Do a Science Fair Project"

Good luck and let us know if you have more questions.

Yes, thats where I took my inspiration, I hope it okay.
Thank you so much.

Of course it is ok to use our project idea. That is what they are there for! . Good luck!

Hello,
i want to ask one more question (in the end I changed my experiment...)
Is it okay if I have the BECAUSE in the hypothesis very long?

[Amber_MIT]

You actually don't need to say "because..." in your hypothesis.

Here's our page about the hypothesis: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... esis.shtml

If you want to explain how you came up with your hypothesis in your background research paper, that would be fine. But the hypothesis itself should consist of: "If , then [this] will happen."
