Question
Hello,
I am a fifteen year old narrowing down topics for a science fair. I am
interested in human behavior, and more specifically, left-side and right-side
brain dominance. I was considering a project that would involve me
comparing the percentages of each dominance with different genders and age
groups to see if there are any patterns in my results.
Is this too ambitious for someone my age?

Answer
Hi Henna
I do not believe it is too ambitious but I do believe it would be very difficult to design an experiment to test a hypothesis because there are too many variables to control. Tell me the actual problem, your hypothesis and what type of experiment you are considering and then I can advise you.
