So i havea biology experiment plan due tomorrow, and for my life I can not think af anything!!! I have looked online, but the only thing that keeps popping up is "the effect of sound on plants". and like 5 other people are already doing this. so I need your ideas!! guidelines: no vertebrate experimentation, and something that you can test in liek 2 weeks. you can do some type of survey, though........

HELP ME OUT!

At 7:30 I'll pick one from here and close the thread or just search more for a topic. so after 730, don't post.....
 
This is for your university honours degree and you're on NS for ideas? Damn...

 
do something involving germinating seeds and light intensity. Like have pea seeds in the dark, in a green house, and under an intense growing light. easy shit
 
Well for a bio experiment that I designed we tested the effects of heat on crickets. We did two different experiments. One was just track the movement of the crickets at different temperatures and the second was observe the change in frequency of chirps from the cricket as the temperature changes. It didn't take two weeks though, more like 3 days tops. The only thing is crickets are kind of a pain to use because you have to keep them 100% covered or else they will be jumping all over the place
 
problem is that the finaal wriup is due i like a month, so plants would take too long to grow..... but ya i was thinking something like that until I heard that this was a short-time project.
 
uhhh, how bout like the effects of watering it by putting snow (and lettings it melt) on it or watering it with plain room temp water.

good luck man, and to the guy about, this is probably a high school Bio project, not a University one
 
you could do something with erosion.. find which is more harmful to the enviroment(rain or wind etc). I dont think itd be too bad to set something up like this and test it.
 
ok, just to clearup, one more hour until I'llstop the thread......forgot timezone diffs.....

no plants, nothing that would take longer than a couple of weeks....thx!
 
honors bio sucks! i am in it and i would love to help you but i cant due to the fact i have no clue what is going on in the class.
 
k, everyone above who provided an idea got their super-duper karma.

but i still am open to other ideas! come on, ns helpme out!!!
 
for my honors bio experiment we did the effect of caffeine on reaction time... we played ddr and drank red bull and got an A... easy stuff
 
well in science, we did some experiments

effect of salt concentrations on seed germination

effect of radiation on radish seedlings

we also extracted strawberry dna.

Something that doesn't have to do with bio is testing shapes of mini parachutes

There's more, but I can't think of it all.

I'm sure you can find most of these labs on the internet.
 
Plants will be the easiest dude, my university bio lab was just measuring the effect of competition in plant environments. Just make 2 liter planters (google it) and use a type of plant that was made for experimentation, like brassica rappa. Radishes work too. Just plant a different amount of seeds in each planter and keep external things like water and light constant. Its a super easy experiment it will take two weeks at the absolute max.
 
bio isn't just plants.
its also light, sound, cells and microorganisms.
We had a pretty interesting conversation on teeth. Do a survey on stuff like who has wisdom teeth coming in, who is having them removed, when did people lose their last teeth and then you can probably look up online old dental records and see how your data compares. Given it is something that has already been done, but having a local population at your school would provide some interesting data in relation to the environment you live in.
