I want you to come up with an idea for your 3rd trimester project now. You, of course, might end up changing your mind, but I want you to start thinking about it. Perhaps you will even want to start collecting data now. See me if you have an idea for a project that will take an extended time so you can get a head start.
Things to keep in mind:
1. Think independent variable and dependent variables. You need to compare at least 2 groups (your independent variables) and collect data (your dependent variable.)
3. You need to be able to collect quantitative data, and you need to be able to have AT LEAST 5 trials per group.
3. This is an individual project. Feel free to get help from your family, but your classmates will be doing their own thing.
4. This is a BIOLOGY project. Luckily such things as biochemistry, biophysics and bio-engineering exist. See me if you're not sure if your project qualifies as biological.
5. Your experiment can't harm animals...including humans. I will no longer approve projects involving "new pets" unless you can prove you have proper equipment, space and ability to care for them.
