Article: First, pull apart the paperclip so that it resembles the letter S and then straighten out the paper clip wire entirely. Use the pliers to help you straighten the wire if it is too difficult to straighten with your fingertips. The wire does not have to be completely straight like a pin. It can be a bit wavy as long as it is no longer in the shape of a paperclip. Grip one end of the paperclip wire using the pliers and begin wrapping the wire around the pen or marker. Use the other pair of pliers to grip the other end of the wire and continue wrapping the paperclip wire around the pen until you have made two full rings. Try not to bend or unfurl the coil too much or you may need to redo the previous step. Ideally, the two ends should overlap slightly so that you will have room to bend the wires back. Try to make sure that the rings are roughly the same size and shape, but don't worry if they are not identical. Use the pliers to bend back about 1/4" of wire on each end and fold it so that it is aligned with the ring wire. Bending back the wire will redirect the pointed ends of the wire so that they are not pressing against your inner and outer lip. When you bend back the wires, make sure that the ring opening is wide enough to easily slide over your lip. This space should be about 1/4" wide, but you may want it narrower or wider depending on the thickness of your lower lip. Use the pliers to reshape the rings after you have bent back the ends. Make sure that they look exactly how you want them to look. Simply slide each of the rings onto your lower lip and adjust their placement so that they are spaced equally on your lower lip. The two rings should be closely aligned with your canine teeth. If they are too loose or too tight, gently squeeze or pull on the rings to adjust the fit.

Article: If you're genuinely excited and curious about your topic, chances are you'll come up with something original. A curiosity to learn is essential for motivating you to pursue ideas in a creative way and to put the time and effort into making your project "new." One way to create an original project is to improve on someone else's idea, for example, by repeating a science experiment that someone else has already done and then adding onto the experiment to make it more complex or useful. In this instance you're not creating something entirely new from scratch, but the originality comes in seeing a worthwhile project and finding a way to make it better. This mode is especially valuable when coming up with ideas for a science project, as you can often take an experiment that someone else has already done and find a way to tweak it to test something new or prove something slightly different. Oftentimes you start a project out with what you do know, but one way to ensure that your project will lead to something that's truly original is to keep exploring the topic until it leads to what you don't know. Usually, this means you've landed on a topic/information that most people in your class don't know either. Even if the topic you choose right out of the gate of your brainstorming process isn't the most original thing in world, you still have the opportunity to shape and mold your topic and your project as you go through the tasks of reading and preparing to do the project. Originality can come in at a lot of different points throughout the process of doing the projectit doesn't necessarily have to be something that's there right from the start.
