Science Fair 2013

Task

Write a recount of your Science Fair project last year under the headings. Be brief and summarise. One or two sentences on each:

Aim - To see what hair brand is the best.

Hypothesis - I think  silky  shampoo and conditioners are better than ordinary shampoo and conditioner because the silky shampoo and conditioner just have more harsh chemicals designed to clean hair.

Introduction - 

                                 
I am a girl, and like most girls I want my hair to feel soft, shiny and smooth. Most of the popular hair brands are more expensive than the less used hair brands, but is the price worth paying? Do these more expensive products really make our hair softer, shinier and smoother?  

Equipment & Method -Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner Nourished shine

Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner Classic clean
Sunsilk Shampoo and Conditioner Frizz & weather defence
Sunsilk Shampoo and Conditioner Addictive brilliant shine
Water

Results - My findings show that  Sunsilk Frizz & Weather Defence was the best brand for making your hair soft and silky is because it feels so soft and it lasts for up to four day.

The worst worst brand was Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner Classic clean because it didn't feel that soft and only lasted 2 day!

I also noticed that Sunsilk Addictive  Brilliant Shine was pretty good too because  it also lasted up to 4 days.

Conclusion - It was a good first science fair.

Now answer these questions

What did you do well last year? I got all the brands I needed and finished on time.

What did you find difficult last year? Typing all the information onto my laptop and getting everything onto the science fair board.

Look through the Science Fair Tab - How does the type of water you feed a plant affect its growth?

Find 2 possible topics - How does the type of water you feed a plant affect its growth?

Dear Orcon Company,

Lately the internet has been slow and it bugs me when I am trying to go on youtube or do homework the reason why it is slow is because it doesn't load and it says the internet cannot connect which is really annoying for me.
It would be very appreciated l if you could help me and my family with this problem and make the internet faster. 

We have had internet from your company for 2 years now and it has just recently been very slow.
I expect you to come round to my house and fix this problem pronto, take out our old internet box and give us a new one or give us free internet for a month.


Your Sincerely,

Joy Mitchell
