Can anybody suggest a research topic?

Any research topic as long as it is possible to do...really really need one...

Can anybody suggest a research topic?
Well what class is it for? That would help....





If it's just a general science research project then I would opt for doing some research on a current or controversial subject, such as stem cell research which aids diseases such as parkinsons. Or there's the issues on fuel--biofuel/green energy versus oil and fossel feuls. Another hot topic these days is genetic engineering and what genetics will mean for our future society. If you're into physics, you could opt to do research on the String Theory, which is a new theory of unification in our universe that combines Einstein's general relativity with Quantum Mechanics and it's pretty current and also pretty controversial in the physics community. There have also been breakthroughs with cancer research linked to certain antioxidants in vegitables and fruits and also in Green Tea, called polyphenols.





I think current scientific issues would be your best bet. Not only would there be slews of information in online Journal articles, but also things in magazines such as Discover and Newsweek, as well as on television. It might even be easier because you would not only get the scientific aspect of it but also the cultural, social, moral, ethical and economical impacts of these things on our life as we know it today.

Reply:How about you get different types of algae and test their production levels under different conditions:


salinity


light


what type of water they're in


closed/open containers





Get the same type of alga from a single aquatic source, if you want to keep it simple. Otherwise, choose the same alga from other sources, or try different alga from the same source, and etc.


Make sure to do multiple trials.





Anyway, you can test for algal production in a few ways. Check for oxygen levels in the water before and after. Take dry masses of the algae before and after. I'm sure you can think of more.
Reply:Perhaps you should go to the Mythbusters website %26amp; do a rigorous project on one of the myths that they covered in their shows.





Personally, I liked their "do you stay dry better walking or running in the rain". I feel sure it should be possible to model the process %26amp; create a useful formula to predict how best to stay dry in the rain.
