Science Fair Project

My kid finally finished the project, so I thought I'd provide the result. First, the expectations for his project are much less than I had in grade school. All he really had to do was collect data and analyze it. If it had been more of an "experiment," the expectation would have been to perform the experiment and record the results. Then, a five minute presentation in class.

 

When I was in school, it was that plus a 8-10 page typed research paper with bibliography, etc., and we had to do it on a typewriter. Such a pain.

 

Anyway - the results (highly flawed due to sample size):

 

Top 10% in High School class earned considerably more than those ranked 11%-last in the class. There were a few outliers that skewed the data toward this result, but overall, it seemed to trend that way if the outliers were removed.

 

I'm just glad it's over. Thanks for your help.
