the one i'm thinking about is investigating the differences between rain, tap, filtered, and bottled.
Identify which, if any, inorganic nutrient can be added to the environment of naturally occurring petrophilic (oil-degrading) microbes (namely a fungal strain, Penicillium; and a bacterial strain, Pseudomonas) in order to induce an increase in the rate at which oil spills in the ocean can be efficiently cleaned up. (scroll down to "high school") http://www.usc.edu/CSSF/History/2008/Projects/S0907.pdf is the link to the real experiment
The Effects of Oil Spills on Underwater Plant Life
How could be human hair used in absorbing oil spills

but the ones i've linked are the ones i'm actually interested in. AND DOES BACTERIA COUNT AS "ANIMALS"?????
Melissa... a few things:
ReplyDelete1. Bacteria do not count as animals, so feel free to do research on them.
2. This is a LONG term project, which means that I expect you to actually put some effort into it. Just finding links from google does not actually count as effort. Because of your lack of action, I can't actually approve your project at all- you haven't considered any of them in enough detail for me to really comment about what you are planning to do.
Get onto it.
