Project Report: Abstract
The abstract is a brief overview of the project. It should not be more than one page and should include the project title, a statement of the purpose, a hypothesis, a brief description of the procedure, and the results.
There is no one way to write an abstract, but it should be brief, as shown in Figure 6.3. Often, a copy of the abstract must be submitted to the science fair officials on the day of judging, and it is a good idea to have copies available at your display. This gives judges something to refer to when making final decisions. It might also be used to prepare an introduction by a special award sponsor, so do a thorough job on this part of your report.
