Question
What lesson did Richard Ebright learn when he didn't win anything at the County Science Fair?
✓

Answer

Richard Ebright was in the seventh grade when he sent his first project in the County Science Fair. Everybody else had won something. But he returned empty handed. It was really a sad experience for him. But his loss taught him an important lesson in life. He realised that to be a winner he would have to do real experiments. His project of merely showing slides of frog tissues under a microscope didn't click. He should have done real experiments and that is what real science is all about.
