What Physics Topics Can I Research for My College Science Class?

AI Thread Summary
A new science research class allows students to engage in independent research, meeting weekly to select topics, conduct studies, and present findings, including participation in science fairs. A student interested in physics seeks specific research ideas and clarifies the level of research expected, noting the flexibility in topic depth. The discussion emphasizes the need for guidance on suitable topics, leading to the student's decision to focus on aerogels, including their production and potential applications. The conversation also highlights the urgency of selecting a manageable topic due to time constraints, with participants confirming the research is at a high school level, specifically for seniors.

I just joined a classs that I didn't even know existed at my school until today. It is called science research, and basically you meet once a week with the class, and it is all independent research, you pick a topic and research it and present to the class and then enter science fairs and other stuff.. Well I have a huge interested in physics, but it is very general and for this class I need to come up with a specific object that can be researched over the course of the year and into next.. Does anyone have ideas on possible subjects to research?

thanks..

I am just looking for ideas.. I never said I would choose the first topic some one lists, but if you guys could give me a few ideas it would help me formulate my own area of reasearch.. I am just a little confused as to what to pick..
 
Well, it would be nice to know what level of research you are looking for before we just throw a list of topics at you - there are way too many topics for us to list, so if you can narrow things down a bit maybe we can go somewhere.
 
Pretty much it can be any reasearch on anything science and it can get as indepth as I want it too..

I have decided on researching aerogels though. I first am attempting to make them, for those of you who know about them, I can make the alcogel but the supercritical extractions are a bit tricky. Once I have them made though, I am reasearching possible uses for them and also less expensive ways to produce them in large quantities...
 
i am also doing a research...could you recommend any topic for me to do...?... i have been researching for topics but i can't decide on what topic i should prefer...
 
Why doesn't anyone want to answer the question what level is this for?

i am currently in my senior year in physics... I'm from the philippines.. a simple topic will do because we only have at most 3 months to do the experiment or the research...
 
High school? College?
