2015 da Vinci Physics Science Research ProjectDear da Vinci Physics Student:As a requirement of the da Vinci program, you are required to research and prepare a science project/experiment in an area of physics that you find interesting. This project must be the result of a science project/experiment you have conducted (performed and documented steps throughout). You must show that you investigated some physics phenomenon by experimentation. All projects must explain in detail what it is you have done. *The project must include a poster with the following1. Title (Put your topic title in the form of a question that your experiment will hopefully answer)2. Variables investigated3. Experimental procedure 4. Results of experiment5. Conclusion6. Any discrepancies/problems you encountered while conducting your experiment7. Diagrams/photographs of you conducting your experiment must be included. 8. NO PICTURES/DIAGRAMS FROM THE INTERNET OR TEXT. This project should be completed with just your Physics Reference Table and Physics textbook. *ONLY USE THE INTERNET FOR MINIMAL EXTRA INFORMATION.*You are essentially creating your own lab report. Students may work together, up to a maximum of 3 students, and each members individual contribution to the project must be noted.Timeline of Due Dates:____________March __________, 2015-Topic Title -List of group members____________April ____________, 2015-Topic Title Final Decision-Outline of what you will be doing with your topic (sub topics, etc), brief abstract.-List of group members Final____________ May ____________2015-Final Research project due*A good start is to look at the physics involved in some aspect of your daily activity. *Have the title of your project be a question that your experiment then answers. Possible Research Topics:-The Physics of: (Insert sport, motion, animal, hobby, etc here)-The Mechanics of: (Insert some form of technology here)-Flight; Insects, Birds, Gliders, Rockets, Human Powered-Animal Locomotion-Robotic Walkers-Forensics; Accidents, BallisticsEnergy; Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal, Current, Wave, Hydrogen-Gyroscopes (spinning tops)-Boomerangs and many others….-Alternative sources of energyNon-finite sources of fuel humans can utilize ex. solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, wave, etc. Create a way to use these sources of energy.*If you are describing a technology be sure to include its current uses, possible improvements, and any other new possible uses for it.
