NorthRokas Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello guys, I need idea for high school science project. The project should not require expensive equipment or rare materials. Project should solve humanity problem or be related with humanity. I have one idea, but my idea is not complete. My idea was take bacteria’s examples from school desk, then grow bacteria’s in petri dishes and identify (Gram positive or Gram negative), but I can’t relate it with human health or similar thing. I would be grateful if you could complete my idea. It would be good if you send some links. Thanks for any help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry of Yore Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Well, since no one has made a suggestion, I'll take a stab at it. How about studying feces? Yeah, gross, but interesting. Gut biome is grabbing headlines a lot recently. Human, dog, cat, bird. Compare young dog to old dog? Just a suggestion. And perhaps consult a teacher about hygiene so you don't get sick. Good luck.

I grew up on the farm, and back then our standards were lacking compared to today.

Best advice I can give is to discuss with the teacher or other faculty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, a recent article talked about finding "super poopers", people with ideal strains, species who could serve as donors for people with various health problems. Fecal implants, right? Maybe I need that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
