Hey dude i think u have to do it in the first person....like i carried out this experiment by adding this onto that and then.......kabooooom...... :biggrin:

And my findings seemed interesting...blah blah....cos when i did mine on physics my teacher in charge said its supposed to refelect ur own ideas and so on....and if im not mistaken the students voice should be apparent in the essay

Hey ok it means u have to do it in an instructive manner so that any other person who wants to do ur experiment can do it :biggrin:

For eg: to blow up your house simply add a tiny cute lil ball of potassium nitrate onto some nasty concentrated acid and watch ur house go up in smoke :biggrin:
