Is there a certian outline to write an acknowledgement? I have a lot of people to thank and I was wondering what format I need to write it in. What should I include ? I intend to get a high mark on my science fair, so thats why I need to know every little detail from title, down to acknowledgements. Is there a certain way to write them, or do I just say "thank you grandma, thank you cousin" and so on, or do I have to say why ?

Hi!!
Acknowledgements are usually written in a paragraph format. Also, it is common for the author to briefly describe the reason for the acknowledgement; examples include funding or monetary support, intellectual contributions to the work/experimental design, or help editing the final piece of work.
Hope this helps,
