Description | ||
| I get a few students contacting me looking for ideas on science projects about hair each year. This can be difficult because hair itself is rather uninteresting and does not do much. It doesn't respond to stimuli, it's hard keratinized material, and it's dead. It's like trying to think of something useful to do with nail clippings (which are made of the same material). As adults are obsessed with their hair, so kids inherit the interest sooner or later and some want to do science fair projects about it. | ||
