If you have selected a topic you are already interested in you may already be quite knowledgeable about the subject. However, researching the subject is still important. You just might be surprised at what you will learn.
·Libraries:Start at your school and local libraries. Ask the librarian who can often save you hours of searching. Do you have a local University? Especially with more advanced projects this might be your best source of information. Again talk to the librarian and try to get a readers card (there may be a cost but is often well worth the investment).
·Internet:A truly humungous resource. The problem with the internet is the amount of information and how reliable it is. Use the internet search engines (google and DMOZ) are probably the best or try our resource link page.
·Your teacher:You might be surprised at how helpful your teacher can be in finding resources and later in organizing your project. Get them on your side at the start.
·Professional or local organizations:Depending on your topic you may find a related organization. Check out their website and try contacting them for useful information. You may strike gold with someone in the organization who can help you or they may have an educational support section. Either way be polite, reasonable in your requests and please thank them after you have finished (a copy of your project and photos of your display can be offered – check first with your parents and teacher).
