High school science investigatory projects involve those projects that give students an opportunity to learn about their subject using scientific methods of research. The student first starts with an investigation about a scientific problem (question). The next step is to use a problem-solving process using the scientific method. This involves doing some background research, which will help you
. construct a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on the research. The next step is to test the hypothesis through experimentation. Once the experiment is done, analyze the data and draw a conclusion. Finally, share the results with the scientific community.There are many examples available if a student is having problems thinking of a high school science investigatory project. This website, http://www.sciencebuddies.org/, has a simple survey that finds a science investigatory project based on the student's interests, hobbies, date due, strengths and weaknesses. For some general examples, a student can go to http://www.investigatoryprojectexample.com/science-projects/. This site lists a large number of examples that a student can pick from.A few examples of science investigatory projects are as follows:Using mollusk shells as mortar. This is studying the effectiveness of using mollusk based mortar as a substitute for normal mortar.Fungus as a termite control agent. The goal of this study is to see if the effects of fungi on termites is an effective and organic way of solving pest problems.Used cooking oil as a substitute for diesel fuel. This is studying whether or not if used cooking oil can be used as a cost efficient substitute for diesel fuel to save the planet and the economy of natural resources.Making a hygrometer with human hair. Measuring humidity with an apparatus based on human hair. This is the reason why hair gets frizzy on humid days.These are just a few examples. The websites above show more examples and detailed directions. Remember to always do proper research and never lie about results.
