If you like asking questions, designing and experiment, testing, and collecting data, start with an experimental design project.
The key to a good and manageable investigation is to choose a topic of interest, then ask what is called a “testable question.”
1) Testable questions are those that can be answered through hands-on investigation.
2) The key difference between a general interest science question and a testable question is that testable questions are always about changing one thing to see what the effect is on another thing.
