SRP ideas

some reasonable topics would be (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) 

1. Factors which affect the rate of fermentation of yeast (eg Concentration of sugar, temperature)- Done in 600ml PET bottles and using balloons size to determine Carbon Dioxide production. 

2. Determining which flowers make the best acid base indicators 

3. What factors affect Vitamin C concentration in fruit eg refrigeration, heat 

4. The optimum amount of water in a air powered bottle rocket. 

5. Factors which affect the flight time of a toy-cup flier 

Okay, this is the hardest part of the whole project…picking your topic. But here are some ideas to get you started. Even if you don’t like any, they may inspire you to come up with one of your own. Remember, check all project ideas with your teacher and parents, and don’t do any project that would hurt or scare people or animals. Good luck!
