Hi Alison! In science fair projects it is up to the student to figure out what variables to test. Science involves wondering about something, then asking questions, then developing an experiment. During the experiment Nature will answer the questions. So, what do you wonder about when making your own Hand Drawn Holograms? (Better make some first, so they get you started in wondering!) Here's a question. How can you improve your home made hologram? What kind of XXXXX is best? Where XXXX could be "needle" or "plastic" or "light source" or "number of scratches" or all kinds of things. Then the variable becomes the different types of needles you used, or the different kind of light sources, etc. Ask your own question about Hand Drawn Holograms, then figure out an experiment which will answer your question.
