Science Project Brainstorm

1
Science Project Brainstorm

• Write down a list of 5 things you enjoy (not
  necessarily science related). This could be
  things you like to do, are interested in, are
  curious about, read about, think about dont
  limit yourself!

2
Now Pick One..

• Pick ONE of those 5 topics
• For that topic, brainstorm a list of 5 things
  that VARY about that topic.
• For example, if you enjoy skateboarding, what
  things can vary? Wheel size, distance between
  wheels, width, length, jump type, etc.
• If you enjoy sleeping, think of what affects it
  such as length of time slept, food eaten before
  sleeping, type of mattress, etc.

3
Choose ONE of those variables

• Now, pick one of those variables one of the
  things that can be changed or manipulated
• For that variable, brainstorm 5 things that can
  be measured IF you changed that variable
• For instance, if you change the wheel size on the
  skateboard, you could then measure the distance
  traveled with one push

4
Status Check

• At this point, you should have one topic that you
  have chosen, and listed 5 things you could
  manipulate about that topic, and 5 things you
  could measure after the manipulation

5
Try it again

• Pick a 2nd topic from your original 5 things you
  like and enjoy
• Brainstorm 5 things that vary about that topic
• Brainstorm 5 things you could measure in response
• If you had a particularly hard time brainstorming
  the things that you can change or measure, try
  one of your topics that is a little more concrete

Bring this list

• To the library with you tomorrow during English!
