What Are Suitable Extended Essay Topics in Physics for the IB?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around seeking ideas for an IB extended essay in physics, specifically looking for research topics that are manageable yet allow for extensive writing. The original poster has experimented with several questions, including the effect of pendulum length on its time period, but found them insufficient for a 4000-word essay. Suggestions include exploring resources like Science Buddies for potential project ideas. The focus is on finding topics that balance feasibility with depth for comprehensive analysis.

Hi:), I'm doing the IB and I'm doing my extended essay(EE) in physics. I've thought of so many questions and I even started experimenting on a few but they haven't really worked out. I was doing one recently(the effect of the length of a pendulum on its time period) but apparently, I won't be able to write up 4000 words on that. So, any ideas for research topics that won't be too hard to do but I can still write a lot(4000 words) on?(thanks:D)

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
