Hi. My school is requiring us to do a science fair project this year, which actually counts as half of the weight of a normal class. We are required to do background research over the summer.
1) How do choose my topic? I mean, I know the advice do whatever interests you, but I can't think of anything that hasn't already been done. Another thing I might: When I hear of my friends doing topics that are incredibly complex (at least in my opinion), it makes whatever idea I foggily create seem kind of dimwitted or weak or easy. And my teacher hasn't given any clear expectations of the project.
2) How should I make a team? We are allowed groups of 3 people at most, and the the responses from people I ask are never definite. I don't want to show up with nobody. I've asked my friends at first and stemmed from anyone who I felt could complement my strengths. I've had others ask me, mainly friends, but those who ask me are often the one's who come to me for help in doing work that's been overdue for a while.
3) Kind of embarrassing, but our summer doesn't end until about 3 weeks from now. I want to run my potential ideas with my teacher to see what she thinks, but will I give her the impression that I am lazy or procrastinate (...I do as much as a normal student but I don't want to give her that first impression ).
My goal isn't really to win the science fair, but just to meet the requirements and do well, as it is a grade. Thank you!
