Hi.

I need to come up with a project for my chemistry class. I’m looking for some good ideas, on topics that would be easy to research + full of information and interesting.

I would like it to be a written paper, on one topic, like last time i wrote a paper on Weapons Of mass distruction. How they are made and what not..

Best idea will recive 10 points.

Thanks.

I have to do a project for my biology class, on a specific topic.

Does anybody have any ideas on a topic that encompasses both biology and physics, that could make a good project?

* By project I mean research a topic and collect information about it, put it on a presentation board.

Alicia asked:


I have to do a little experiment with all the good stuff: hypothesesis, experiment, conclusion etc etc. What would be a good experiment to do? It doesnt have to be a major full on science experiment, this science class is for people not majoring in science. Any ideas?

Jeremy H asked:


I need a few topics that are related to biology, 2 biological organisms that apply to the topic, 2 biological conditions that apply to the topic, and 2 abiotic factors/conditions that apply to the topic.

Any help, hints, or ideas you have to offer are more than appreciated! I’m not asking for answers to all of these things. I am just drawing a blank when it comes to topics that can be applied to the previously stated directions. I really just need ideas on topics and whatever other help you can give. THANKS!

Just wondering. The physics of curveballs in baseball is all over the place but breaking pitches in wiffleball are produced differently, I think.

We are doing a physics project on the ferris wheel. We have all of the needed calculations, but we need some kind of a visual for our presentation tomorrow. We were hoping for something that could be made out of household items and is very simple to make and understand.

mike asked:


i would like to do some bussiness related work. What are my options other than research. I’m a very idenpendent type person so i don’t want to have to work for someone else. i want to start something that i can possibly develop into something bigger. Are there any other options when i finish masters degree in biology or are research and med school my only options. Any thoughts, input or info from or on similar situations would be greatly appreciated. or if you know of someone with a masters degree doing something totally different, the info would be cherished.
thanks much in advance.
your posts are great!!

What is “raw material” in science (used in plants)???

Rev. Iason Ouabache asked:


It’s purely antecdotal but it feels like the amount of science literacy has gotten worse in recent years. What can we do to reverse that trend? Should we throw money at it? Give incentives to schools that do well in science? Make the standardized tests harder? More scholarships for science majors? Start a new PR campaign that makes science cool? Have the government appoint someone as a Science Ambassador? What do you think would work best?

In physics terms, can someone please explain how a homopolar motor works? Like… I know how to make one, but why does the copper wire spin around the battery and magnet? What forces cause this? Please post a detailed explanation of this phenomenon.
