Help your buddy miami15 think of a science project that can be easily done in 2 weeks.

This is simple, yet very cool to look at once done. Do it outdoors, indoors, and if your teacher allows...in your classroom.

Thanks, but I doubt that is scientific enough for a high school project. :confused I may use it, though.

i knew those teachers were cheatin me!!! i had to turn in mine like 2 months ago!!!!!!! grrrrrr!! :mad

Come on man, make it high school grade. Do the experiment in different places. You can do it. :thumbup

To tell you the truth, I did that project when I was in 5th grade. :confused

That may require too much work.

Let's see I could make a fancy problem statement like "Where is air pollution most rampant in a house and its surrounding neighborhood?"

Just tape that index card like on the streetlight and someone's garage and some trees. Take some snazzy pictures.

Hmmm, it's so doggone easy. Cape, let's just say you're winning the sweepstakes. :thumbup

Ouch. I could add an 11th grade twist, can't I?

well...i did mine on how strong fishing line is..i used different types of fishing line and tested the strength compared to the advertised strength..i.e. 15 lb. test

 

it must have been good, cause my teacher entered it into the science fair, and i got a decent grade on it

Use different places: some with air filters, some without, some near smog-producing cars, etc. Make it detailed.

Hey hey :thumbup :thumbup

Now what would I hypothesize? What exactly am I testing?

You would test the air pollution levels at different locations in your everyday life.

 

You must hypothesize what you believe will be the results at each location.

Take AP Science courses, they don't give projects. :whistle

I have Honors Physics and I don't get Science Projects. Haven't had one since 6th grade.

Man...I haven't done a science project since 7th grade. My friend and I didn't do our Science Projects. We both thought we would fail since we had high test scores and turned in our homework. We both passed the class with a B. :lol

This class is simple, except these 3 weeks are a bitch. It's worth it though. 90% of the days we don't even need a pencil or anything.

I've had one every year since 4th grade.

You can do mine if you want... i got first prize in the school (along with other people) and 3rd in the county for computer science, though i think it falls more into a math /stats category.

 

Basically I examined the relationship between geographic distance and the speed of data transfer on the internet. I repeatedly pinged different university servers in every US state (you could expand it internationally if you want, though it takes more work and you can't model it very cleanly). Do a few trials (hopefully at different times) of a lot of pings, and after you collect the data, print it in color onto a map. After that, if you'd like, make a rough mathematical model of the relationship between distance and speed.

 

Anyway, I did this back in 1996 when not too many regular folks knew a whole lot about how the internet works, but i think it's still relevant today. That one (long) night of work also lasted me for three years' worth of science projects.

Well, what me and my partners did for a science competition was talk about the physics behind simple machines and used a trebuchet to explain the physics. It doesn't take much to build a small trebuchet. You could try that. We got second place.
