 * Find a Mentor**

Having a mentor, someone who is familiar with some aspect of science (i.e. college students, professors, naturalists, engineers), can add an edge to your research and help guide you through any questions and issues you may have with your investigation - and finding one isn't too hard!

By visiting local museums, land conservancies, marshes, or even companies, you may be able to find someone that is willing to help you construct a science project in the area of your interest. E-mailing professors, college students, and other experts is another efficient and useful way to ask for help. Remember to always be polite and patient when requesting advice or help because, remember, these busy scientists are taking time out of their own busy schedule to provide help to you.

Most importantly, be safe. Make sure you inform your parents of the people you are contacting for help.
