some ideas

hello again :)
so the reason i have this blog is for my SRP- science research project.
My first set of blogging is due next week, and as ive been extremely busy with other subjects, ive just begun to blog. BUT that doesn't mean i haven't been constantly thinking about blogging. AND ive put alot of thought into my SRP. Ok, so here are some ideas ive come up with. I need to choose one, so your help is GREATLY appreciated :)

1. Analyse the effects of hair dye on the regrowth of human hair. This idea was suggested by my friend Victoria. However, Ms. Zhang said we would need at LEAST 30 people to do the testing on, so i thought id give it a miss. But if anyone thinks this is a really good idea, ill take your advice :)

2. Observe how long a macdonalds cheeseburger lasts for under different conditions. e.g, a dark cupboard, outside in the sun, in an airtight container, etc. ive put a link for a similiar experiment i found on the internet.


3. Plant corn seeds in 4 different cups and water them with different liquids. e.g. salt water, fresh water, filtered water etc. See which ones work the best, like how fast they grow, or which ones dont grow.

4. The effects water has on floorboards, carpet, tiles etc. I thought of this one because our house got flooded about a year ago, and all our floorboards and carpet got ruined, so we had to tear it up. But underneath there was all this mouldy stuff growing. I found that interesting...

5. How effective are so called "stain removing" products. Do they actually work? I want to test several products on oil stains on clothing.

Ok, so thats basically it for now. I may come up with some more later, but i hope not. Im already having trouble choosing!! your help would be greatly appreciated!!

thankyou so much!!

  2. alison.. eww about the gross stuff under your floor boards.
    i like the hair dye one. that would be so funny making people go around with bad regrowth "all in the name of science".
    but yea getting 30 people is so annoying. i really want to do this idea involving human senses, but again the 30 people thing is not good.
    ahhhh well
    ciao baby
    x emmmmmmm
