Answer
Your project on learning styles sounds very interesting. I've found
some resources for you to get started with. This first link,
http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/earlycareer/teaching/learningstyl
es.html
will bring you to an article about learning styles. There
are some great charts and statistics that I think you'll find useful.
Next I found a great resource for you on the Highland School virtual
library website,
http://www.highlandschools-virtualib.org.uk/ltt/flexible/gender.htm
This page has some helpful facts about the differences in gender and
learning styles. Also,

here is an article that talks about learning styles at different ages. Make sure you take a look at
the references used in the two articles. They will lead you to further
research on your topic.
Be sure to visit your school or local library and ask the librarian
to help you find more sources that will assist you with your science
fair project. Also, be sure to cite all the sources you use properly.
Here is a great site to help you with your references,

Please let me know if I can help you further and good luck with your project!
