I know that some essays, lab reports, etc. are not suppose to use the 1st point of view.What about an abstract

Question

An abstract for my science fair project.

Isn't the abstract just a summary of my project?

Does that include my results or just a summary of my research plant?

The direction just say: abstrat of project for publibity release

I have:

Fertilizer isn’t cheap, yet people spend a lot of money on all types of fertilizer to provide their plants with the essential nutrients for proper growth. In the world today, the human population is inevitably increasing as the room for landfill seems to be diminishing. So I set out to see if food waste could be turned into something more useful. Food waste should be given another look because as it decomposes, it turns our rotten leftovers into nourishing nutrients that plants could use.
Fertilizer is meant to provide three macronutrients into the soil: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. The food waste fertilizer was composed of tofu (nitrogen), mushrooms (phosphorous), banana peels (potassium), and a small portion of onions for sulfur

(which was particularly needed for radishes). There were two food waste variables: food waste blended and food waste chopped. This was done because it was expected that both variables would have a different decomposition rate. In total there were 5 variables: chemical fertilizer, blended food waste, chopped food waste, fish food, and the original, with no added nutrients.

So would fertilizer composed of entirely food waste be an appropriate substitute for commercial fertilizer?

So, is this okay?

Answer 1

Avoid the first point of view in your abstract. You could use it in the opening sentence only.

For example: My project is to determine if most birds prefer pure sunflower seeds over millet seeds. In order to determine this I hypothesize the following experiment:

Then go through the steps.

Answer 2

No, an abstract should not be in first person, either. Call yourself the experimenter, but as much as possible make your results the star of the show.

For example, you could write, "The experimenter discovered that..."

But it would be far better to write, "The results revealed that..."
