Details, DetailsDetails, DetailsStudents anywhere and any age are welcome to participate in this project! It is recommended for middle school or high school students but younger students may be able to participate on a more limited basis. Try to provide data for as many of the tests as possible but if you can only conduct a few tests, that is fine too.
Officially, the project will start on October 6, 1997 and run through November 14, 1997. If your class chooses to join the project during its official run, you'll be able to communicate directly with the other schools and individuals participating in the project. You'll be able to discuss via email your class theories and discuss the results once they are available. Your class work will also then become part of the official results page, if you so choose. The project results as well as the background information will be available on the page to anyone (regardless of whether your class is registered) at any time.
There's no fee to join.
