Over the last 5 weeks i have been taking part in the science project, which I experimented with products that cleaned windows. I did what cleans windows best. my title was called Clean Me Quick and my partner was Sasha. what i really enjoyed doing was testing what products cleans the window best. I liked cleaning the window and timing the progress. I also enjoyed seeing all the other great science projects in the hall. I think I was thinking like a scientist because I was doing experiments and writing down all the information about the science project. what I learnt was that newspaper cleaned dry mud and lipstick off windows the best. I would tell students before they start there science project, that it can be a challenge in the way that you all have to share your ideas and to be more compromising towards each other. Also printing your information on the computer makes the finishing look more effective and neat.
