Science Fair Proposal

1. What is your hypothesis?
If a paralegal has an education or certification, then employers will be willing to pay them more than a paralegal who has no education or certification.

2. Identify the dependent (produced), independent (manipulated) and control variables in your hypothesis.

Dependent: paralegal starting salary
Independent: level of education/certification
Control: employers

3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?

My EQ is about being hired as a paralegal, and my science fair project is about starting salaries.

4. How will you perform the experiment?  Include the equipment you plan on using.

I will use data that professionals have made available and organize it in a chart/graph.

5. Which category will your project be listed under?  

Behavioral Science
