I am working with my daughter (5th grade), to complete a science project,

This always rattles my chain. If it is your daughter's project, she should be
doing the work. If she is of normal intelligence and cannot complete the
project without adult help, then it is not an appropriate 5th grade homework
project, or it needs to be completed in school, & you should tell the teacher.
