Back then, they really judged you on how well you wrote up the explanation, not how elaborate your project was.

I am really happy with her teacher this year because he seems more concerned with the students learning and taking an interest in what they are learning about then whether or not the kid (or in a lot of cases parents) put together a flashy project. I think as part of the fun I am going to have my daughter read this thread and decide on her own what idea she would like to use to test her hypothesis.
Thanks,
