What topic would be better for my science fair project?
Last year i discovered this site and asked this same question. Today i can say that my project won first place in Cognitive Sciences, and after doing an International Science fair i got accepted for another one, now I'm representing Puerto Rico in Brazil this year for it. After receiving much advice here and help I've decided to ask again, what topic should i do this year? Last year my topic was: How much do high school students depend on AI for English redaction assignments? Can teachers determine when schoolwork is AI generated? This years topic im not sure what to do but i have some ideas and ill explain the backstory on why its an idea. 1. Replicating liver enzymes and certain conditions to see and better understand what makes them go up - My partner came up with this because her mom has an autoimmune disease that has something to do with the liver. 2. Developing a light sensor that turns on a small light to prevent elderly trips and falls in dimly lit places. - As we all know elderly people sometimes have difficulty seeing in the dark, sometimes they struggle finding the switch to turn on the light. Its hard to know how many elderly people have gotten injured because of this. Last week my grandma was telling me about the night before when she tripped and fell on her way to the bathroom because she couldn't find the light or her phone, because of this she sprained her wrist. After that conversation i came up with the idea of developing a light sensor to prevent these injures. 3. This third one im not sure about but its something about epilepsy. - Investigating the effectiveness of different seizure management techniques - Exploring the impact of epilepsy on learning and memory - Examine the effects of specific environmental factors on seizure frequency -- The idea to make it about epilepsy was that last year very suddenly my brother got diagnosed with it and in july we had his first seizure. It has impacted us as a family greatly and i thought of doing something to teach people more about it.
