Consider entering your investigatory project into a science fair competition.
Burning questions can be answered through experimentation. Learning make a battery from a potato or about how much honey a bee hive produces or about why a bug moves slower in certain temperatures are all questions answered through experimentation called investigatory projects. Making an investigatory project involves identifying your own burning question, something you desperately want to know and designing an experiment to find the answer.
Instructions
1. Find a topic that interests you -- not your parents or your teacher. If you are not interested in bugs, you will have a hard time making an investigatory project investigating bugs.
2. Identify a question about the topic. For example, if you are interested in how plants grow, you might ask "do plants grow better in sunlight or under artificial lamps?"
3. Determine if you can conduct some kind of test to get an answer to your question. For the plant example, you could perform a test growing the same kind of plant in the sunlight and under an artificial lamp.
4. Conduct your experiment and record your results.
5. Analyze your data to determine the answer to your question.
6. Report your results. A typical investigative project report includes a description of the purpose of the project, the procedures used, the results and a conclusion.
