Am I doing too much?

Thanks so much for the information regarding shadowing.

I still have questions about research if that’s okay.

First off, would I have to come up with the topic/solution or just a topic I’m interested in?

Or would I take a science fair topic and expand upon it? My school doesn’t do science fair, so I’m not really sure what to do if that’s the case.

Secondly, what is that normally like? Would this all be online going back and forth searching for data or would we actively be taking the subject matter and testing it?
