Science Fair Report For Guitar Pics
The purpose of my project is to find out if the thickness of a guitar pick affects the pitch of the guitar. The reason I am doing this is because I think it will be nice to know since I do play guitar and I can use the picks that sound the best.
First I would have all ten people sit down in the band room and I would pick up the electric guitar and put it on. I would now get the thin pick and play the same song. Then I would get the Medium Pick and play a song and then I would get the Heavy pick and play a song. Then I would get the acoustic guitar and do the same. Finally I would ask the students which music sounded the best and count them and write it down on my chart then I would be finished.
For the first guitar more people liked the first pick the best. (Fender Thin) For the second guitar more people liked the second pick. (Fender Medium) This means that the thinner picks sound the best.

The Illinois Junior Academy of Science
SAFETY AND THE STUDENT: Experimentation or research may involve an element of risk or injury to the student and to others. Recognition of such hazards and provision for adequate control measures are the joint responsibilities of the student and the sponsor. Some of the more common risks encountered in research are those of electrical shock, infection from pathogenic organisms, uncontrolled reactions, incompatible chemicals, eye injury from materials or procedures, and fire in apparatus or work area. Countering these hazards and others with suitable controls is an integral part of good scientific research.
In the space below, list the principal hazards associated with your project, if any, and what specific measures you have used as safeguards. Be sure to read the entire section in the Policy and Procedure Manual of the Illinois Junior Academy of Science entitled "SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR EXPERIMENTATION' before completing this form.
