The review of literature is basically background information about your science fair project. How you are supposed to write it is different with each teacher, but when I was taught, I wrote about the subject, independent, and dependent variable of my question.

For instance, say my question was, "Does the different kinds of soil affect the rate at which sunflower seeds grow?" (This was not my science fair question) The subject would be plant growth, the independent variable would be what your changing, which is the different kinds of soil, and the dependent variable is what you are measuring, which is the rate. Therefore, you are covering all parts of the science fair question. Also, if your review of literature is to be a good paper, it should not just be 1-2 pages because this paper should be reasearched.

In addition, when I was taught science fair I was told that the review of literature should not talk about the experiment. It will give you background information about the experiment, but it won't tell you how the experiment will be carried out or what will happen in the experiment. That part is the science lab. The conclusion will analyize your experiment data, but the review of literature in just background information. In middle school, my teacher requires our paper to be around 8 pages double spaced.

It's not that bad writing a science fair review of literature as long as you start on it beforehand. If you don't then it will be hard for you. However, before you start on your research paper, I would suggest you to take a day to outline it first that way you know how and where you are going to write the information. I was required to do that and it actually did help. Typically, the review of literature starts with the subject, then independent variable, and then dependent variable, but the order can change. The point of this is so the paper will be like a funnel. The subject is the broader subject and eventually it ends with the dependent variable, which is more specific.

Good luck.
