Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around potential topics for a year 12 individual investigation in physics, specifically focusing on comparisons between Wales and other countries. Participants suggest various physics-related themes, including aspects of space, gravity, and renewable energy.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in investigating topics such as traveling at the speed of light, the expansion of the universe, and invisible plants, seeking advice on how to relate these to other countries.
  • Another participant poses a question about how to identify invisible plants in Wales compared to Belgium.
  • A different participant suggests exploring the differences in gravitational experiences between Wales and other countries, questioning which countries have more or less gravity.
  • Renewable energy topics are proposed, including comparisons of solar insolation, wind power, geothermal energy sources, and hydroelectric energy availability between Wales and other countries.
  • Suggestions include using resources like Google Images to find European Energy Maps for research purposes.
  • Researching WiFi coverage or high-tech connectivity issues in Wales versus other countries is also mentioned as a potential investigation topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple competing views and suggestions for investigation topics, with no consensus on a single direction or topic for the investigation.

Contextual Notes

Participants' suggestions vary widely in scope and feasibility, with some ideas potentially requiring further clarification or definition to be effectively investigated.

°Hey guys, so I'm in year 12 and I've got to do an individual investigation about anything I want for my Welsh Bac qualification. Naturally as I wish to study Physics at Uni, I want to do my individual investigation on something physics related.

The difficult thing is that i need to compare my subject with something in Wales (uk) to another country.

im interested in:
°travelling at the speed of light, electrons needing 14B eV to do it etc
°Expansion of the universe, how fast, etc
°invisible plantes etc
°a lot of space stuff really

But i need it to be relatable to countries on Earth waaa


I'd be really greatful for any advice on what i could investigate, that's anything to do with physics thanks.

If there were invisible plants in Wales and Belgium, how could you tell?
 
The gravity you experience in Wales, vs. in other countries. Which counties have more vs. less gravity than Wales?
 
Renewable energy topics:
** Solar insolation versus other countries,
** Wind power available versus other countries
** Geothermal energy sources versus other countries
** Hydroelectric energy available versus other countries

Hint -- you can use Google Images to search for things like European Energy Maps, etc.

You could also research WiFi coverage or other high-tech connectivity issues in your country versus other countries...
