Science Fair Project: "Works Cited" tab
I would like thank my parents for driving me to the store, buying supplies for the experiment, and teaching me about using statistics. I would also like to thank my mentor, Doug Williams, who has been influential in my understanding of railroad switches and how they can derail trains. I also give special thanks to David Boyle, whose understanding of the science fair and the makings of a good project really helped me get off the ground with an idea of what topic to research. Finally, I wish to thank Mrs. Gillum, my science teacher, who made sure my project conformed to the scientific method, and that it was conforming to all of the rules of a science fair.

This makes it pretty clear the author is likely pre-high school. Generally, high schools would have more specialized courses than just "science", as in biology, chemistry, physics, etc.

Its "statistics" and "Preparation".
Perhaps you could use a little more preparation before presentation!
