Randomisation (dividing your participants into groups using chance) is one of the most important steps of the START Competition. Don't skip it! It allows the kids to have at least 2 groups for their study, and to compare the differences between them.

Once your class knows who will take part in their START Competition project, the next step is to divide participants into groups.
This is done using randomisation. It’s a bit like picking names out of a hat 🎩

Who is taking part in your study? Is it the junior class? Your parents?

As we move into February, your class might already have a question in mind for their START Competition project. Great 👏
Before starting their study, children need to decide who will take part and collect consent. Asking permission is an essential step and a key part of good research.
