Reminds me of my sculpture class in college. We had to follow the guidelines for each project, make a sketch, document every step, and complete each project – 4 per semester, if I remember correctly. Only one of mine ended up looking ANYTHING like my original sketches – it was the only one I didn’t get an A on – got a C for that one!
Moral of the story? A really good project will take over and grow into more than you hoped.

Technically, he’s right. He’s not describing a science project, but an engineering project. Still, there’s research, synthesis and innovation there.

It sounds like he’s doing this right, he’s just not getting the result he unrealistically expected.

You’re doing it right, Toby. Don’t worry.
