- Microwaved water vs.....not microwaved water. Apparently there was a study done a few years ago where two seedlings were placed in cups side by side, one in water from the tap and one in water that had been microwaved and then cooled to the same temperature as the other one. The results were that the one in normal water grew, and the one in microwaved water shrivelled up and died or something like that. which makes you think, we use microwaves all the time- could it actually be harmful? I was thinking of doing a test similar to this, the variables being the amount of water, type/amount of seeds, light/darkness, length of time, maybe even the type of cup used?
- Reactions to make-up- on other people, that is. Not sure how scientific this is, but it's always interested me, because personally I prefer people's.....natural beauty, but in the modelling/fashion industry, it's the total opposite. I'd need to get 30 subjects at least, probably half male and half female, in the 14-17 year old age group, and perhaps show them photographs of the same people with/without make up. But there are probably way too many variables, and like I said, it may not be all that scientific because I don't know how to test people's reactions to it. Still, I'd like to consider this one
- Did you ever do that thing as a kid where you bounce an egg? I don't remember how it works, but that would be pretty cool!
- So people talk about super-human strength/abilities during dangerous situations. Not quite like an adrenaline rush but say a mother saving her drowning baby. I have no idea how I would conduct experiments on this, but it would be amazingly interesting.
- Advertising power- again, scientific relevance? But, say a person is shown an ad for a product with a really hot guy in it, and then another ad for a superior product, with an average looking guy. Which product are they more likely to choose?
I'm still thinking. These are just a few ideas I'm throwing around....
