Science Experiments

Question: Science Experiments (PHEOC) ideas…?

Hope you’re having a good day. My physics teacher assigned a sciene experiment; and 2 days from now, we have to have an experiment thought up / picked out. He does not want it to be biologiy related (eg: plant growing one). He wants it to be a physical sciene related one. he gave a few suggestions; which batter brand lasts the longest, which toilet paper brand absorbs the most liquid, does reaction time vary at different times of the day, etc.

I don’t have a lot of resources and don’t want to do anything I can’t test; he said we have to be able to take 3 pictures to prove we are doing the experiment, record reliable and accurate data, and be able to make a graph, pie chart, or something along those lines with the data. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer: These science fair sites can help. If you’re not doing a science fair you can still get ideas for your experiment from these sites.
