How would I get sources for science fair when writing a research paper?

Question

i dont know how/ understand how to write a science fair research paper. also i dont know what and how im suppose to do the bibliograph & how to get sources on my topic: are composites of wood stronger than solid wood?

Answer 1

my guess is that the solid wood is stronger
I've broken so many desks, bought a weak *** book case, and broken other things and they were surely composites.

Besides your research, I would try to find some examples around the house, or elsewhere, yard sale, garage, good will, and try to break them.

putting certain pounds of pressure on them, and labeling them in your table, would be good for your report.

you can try wikipedia to get information on different types of wood, they'll likely give you density per certain volumes and all that, that you can use in your report. That's www.wikipedia.org

you may also want to check out some books on wood and such, because you need to have more things listed in your bibliography than just internet sites.

The format of your bibliography is important, yes, but what you choose to USE as sources is probably even more important. So use a mixture of books and websites, to start.

You can even stop by a hardware store to see if they have any pieces of literature or pamphlets on the subject, that you could potentially use as a source in your paper. (E.G. Home Depot for instance). Also, I bet they could give you a LOT of information on your topic. Trust me, they have all kinds of wood there, all shapes and sizes and they know a lot about it too

Answer 2

First off, you need to research composite wood (make sure you keep track of where you got the info: website, book, encyclopedia, etc)
Then research solid wood as well.
When you found your information, type it up without plagarising (sic) and then go to citationmachine.net (or org, I can't remember) and it'll help you create your bibliography.
