We just need help choosing the topic???Can you help us choose a topic that is fun to do with three people???Thanks-you
How about the dangers of some things found within the household such as using inhalants (’huffing’ fumes) or playing ‘the choking game’ or even those teens that chug robitussin (over-the-counter/otc cough medicine) that can cause dangerous hallucinations (Any hallucinations can be ‘dangerous’ though) and can be addictive and lethal. A friend has a traumatic brain injury (tbi) and bone marrow (fatty inner lining of bones that makes blood cells) damage from huffing at age 12, now in her 30’s. It can be very interesting to research as well as priceless information for both you and your peers.
I once saw a photo from a science/community fair which showed a mother who had tragically lost her son due to inhalant use and she had a table display of enlarged pictures of makeshift products that can mame or kill. An example of what was displayed was a tube of glue that instead of the name ‘rubber cement’ or ’superglue’ on it, she printed ‘brain eraser’ or such.

I’m not sure this is good for 3 people but when I was in middle school I tested the effects of caffeine on lima bean plant growth. My brother did it on other drinks other than just caffeinated ones so I guess you could distribute beans to the 3 people and different drinks to people. I won 1st place for mine!=) All you do is have the control group with water and all the other drinks. Although this project takes time. I watched the plants grow for 7 weeks and calculated once a week how much they each grew and the effects that started to occur such as if they were dying or rotting or drooping.
I measured how tall they grew. I had 2 cups filled with dirt and the plant for each type of drink in case something happened to the 1st one like it died or something I’d have a second. This is my opinion for a good project thats likely to get an A if it’s done right.
