I am about to embark on a day of volunteer judging of science fair projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District. I've previewed the 20 or so projects to which I am assigned. One of them claims to confirm the existence of learning styles.
We don't hold kids to the same standards, I understand. I don't want to obnoxiously squash the research aspirations of budding young, enthusiastic scientists. Any suggestions for how I both assess the work fairly and gently challenge the presenter to reconsider this idea....? I am worried I will come across as a kind of brute.... I'll deal with my fellow judges as adults, since I anticipate more receptivity among the HS Teachers.

I think it could very useful for students looking for good resources for their projects of papers. It's also part of what I'll be presenting at next month's Farmingdale Teachers of Psychology conference: http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2014/03/ep-216-video-youtube-power-search-tips/ Michael Michael A.
