Science: Student research project, any ideas? (1 Viewer)

[lyounamu]

Should do something like

"How does the wavelength of light affect plant growth"

Simply just get a few pots, put a few seeds in each, wrap with different coloured cellophane (acts like a wavelength filter), put some holes in it so that our good ole friend Oxygen can get into it and leave in the Sun

Measure rate of growth over a period of a couple weeks and there you go

Pretty simple, sounds quite interesting

Got all the variables, can have a control group, etc...

That's the example i did with my year 10's (top class) about 5 of them are using it and we'll see in 2 weeks when it is due if it went alright

Woooo, interesting! Looks simple but yet very interesting wow...

At our school we had this guy making this crazy project involving sound and activation of some kind of robot. He got to like national level omg.

my experiment was...which brand of washing powder eliminates stains off a piece of cloth most succefully?

I did the effects of different soaps on bacteria and I failed it [13/30], lol.
We were given about 10 weeks to do it and I left it all to the last two weeks, so that was stupid already.
But the SRP isn't as important as science teachers make it out to be :]

I think I want to start something like,

"What makes apples turn brown"

I don't think my parents would let me do it though.
They're big on not wasting food.
Even if it's for the sake of a science assignment.

-places apple in the backyard, parents watching-
-dinner later that night, the same apple- ...


DarkChild69's idea looks pretty good ;]

i did the rate of decrease of intensity of light in torches over periods of time with varying brands of batteries, it was expensive but it was an easy one

EDIT: oh yea! go energizer!

was it napi-san that won??

 

[maths94]

was it napi-san that won??

haha it was like equal results between radiant and napi-san lol i got marked really well for it 24/30 only marks deducted was my bibliography and background information. If you wanna do this one send me a pm i can help u out

oh i remember this. i did the peanut one

How about which combination of electrode and electrolyte produces the greatest e.m.f. So basically just make your own battery by combining different electrodes (e.g. copper, zinc, aluminium, etc...) and different electrolytes (e.g. lemon, tomato, water, beer, potato, etc...). Then just get a multimeter and record the voltage.

This is the first major project for yr 10's, although we have more than a month to complete it, I'm just wondering if any past yr 10ers have any experiments which have been successful to share with me. All I need is advice from successful experiments and as there are many restrictions imposed on this project, I would like to hear of some ideas. Is there anything vital that I should include in the project?

thanks , anonymous

i did the same thing but in yr 9
and i failed 4 doin a shit experiment

 

[Rgo]

For year 8 we had this thing...I did one on plants...'which on grew better a flower in sunlight during mornings or a flower in sunlight in the afternoon'.
I think I got ok...

And now for yr 10 i have to do another one....and it can't be on plants...
*sigh*

i did "does your age affect the ability to taste salt?" i know it sounds shit but i got good marks for it

 

[Kat92]

lol, I completed something similar to this except I think mine was with different solvents and fabrics. A very easy project to do as you have many variables that you can work with.

 

[vintagedreams]

I'm not that great at Science, but I chose an experiment that was classified as "hard" because it was the only experiment that I was both interested in and could do. I got 67%, I think that was pretty good.

 

[thongetsu]

LOLOL this project is so shit i remember doing it the day before it was due. I even got 100%. The experiment was 'What factors affect the consolidation of water into ice?'

Lol, this sounds interesting.

 

[StuntChicken]

i have no idea what i'm going to do ??? i want to do something interesting but not too complicated but obviously that isn't a good combination!

I know exactly what you mean. After changing my idea about 10 000 times I went with "How are coloured shadows created" I like it because:

a) Its not messy and you dont have to rely on people to tell you results
b) It has easily documentational results
c) It can be studied in depth for an A or you can just go for a pass
d) Its interesting and makes awesome colours in your room

Give it a google and see what you think.

 

[Fusakin]

I recall doing this research project in Year 9. I did 'Does age affect a human's reaction time?' It was pretty easy, had a mark over 90%.

maths94, im in dire need of your help for my science thingo T_T

i just need to know what you used to stain the cloths, what material and size were the cloths, what was the amount of the substance did you use to stain the cloth, how did you measure how much of the stain is removed?
