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.
What are some High school Science Fair Ideas I should do ?
I really want to win the science fair this year, and I want a science fair project that would be creative enough to make it easier for me to win. Be mindful that I'm am still a high school student and materials for this project should be accessible.
Whats a good topic?
I don’t know if I can ask this here or not but since there are professionals here and more people I can ask for opinions I will. So this year I’m participating in the science fair and I wanted to do a psychology experiment. We want it to be a grade appropriate experiment, we are in 11th grade. The thing is I have 4 topics I could possibly do with my partner but she likes 2 and I like the other 2. I don’t like the ones she likes so I’m asking here which one sounds better: 1. How much do high school students depend on artificial intelligence for English redaction assignments? 2. How many teens are mentally affected by social media and how does it correlate to gender and age? 3. Why do high school students procrastinate? 4. Can teachers really tell when students use artificial intelligence for their assignments? The thing I don’t like is that 2 of them are heavily researched on and almost everyone is well informed of it by social media. There has been multiple projects on those 2 and I wanted to do something more interesting, also the part where it says “English redaction assignments” is because our first language is Spanish and even though we are in a bilingual school many people are not fluent in English so I think they tend to use it more for English assignments. Which sounds like a more interesting topic?
