Question: We have to design a Physics lab that can be done on top of a mountain, any ideas?

Our whole grade is going up on a mountain and designing Lab Experiments in the science we are studying. I am studying physics therefore I have no other choice. We were told that on top of the mountains there was also a stream and a lake.
Uptil now I have studied:
Kinematics
Laws of Motion
Circular Motion and Gravitation
Work and Energy
LInear Momentum
Vibrations and Waves
Heat
Wave as Nature of Light

Answer: With the river and stream Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Gravitation, Work and energy all work… Also you could measure the change in the air Pressure from the ground and there…

!!MOLECULAR MOTION!! (WHOOOOOA)

Question: What is a good title for my science experiment?

It is about whether deforestation affects the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and has to do with plants. Also: what is a variable or control group in an experiment (please answer this as simple as you can because i looked on other websites but the way they explained it was too complicated to understand.

Answer: a basic title may be ~Is Deforistation a cause of global warming ?
a control group is a sample or object that is left in it’s natural state
for example
an experiment to find out what hapens when you put white roses in a vase containg an amount of ink in the water
use 4 roses
1st in water with one drop of blue ink~slight bluish tint after 3 days
2nd in water with three drops of blue ink~deeper blue than the 1st
3rd in water with three drops of red ink~rose is a red shade
4th just in water~rose is white
from the above you can then conclude
the amount of ink in the water affects the colour .more ink is a darker shade
the colour of the ink affects the colour~blue +blue
red=red.
the control rose in plain water shows no colour change
conclusion putting coloured ink in the water changes the colour of the white rose
as you can see if you do not use a control you could not say it is the ink that causes the colour change

Question: I need a website with science fair samples?

Can someone give me a website with science fair project samples? Like the entire project from beginning to finish.

I am not looking to plagiarize, I know that the teacher will easily find out if I did. I already did my own experiment, I just want to look at some lab report formats and board layouts.
