David13434 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Helppppp! I can't think of any ideas to do for my physics ia... Could anyone give me some physics ia ideas?? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_emmma_ Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 You can do something about terminal velocity, there are some experiments really easy. With little balls and oil you can determine the viscosity of the fluid. You just need to apply the Stokes' Law, the archimedes principle and the second Newton's law. Good luck, if you need more ideas I can find them 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmSu2020 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I did my physics IA on the magnetic shielding power of copper because I was really interested in magnets. However, a very popular topic idea is something to do with conduction - terminal velocity is good too as emmma said, but it is also more influenced by environmental factors, which means you'll need to control more variables. Anything to do with electricity can be pretty easily controlled in a lab setting, hence the popularity of conduction experiments. Some of my friends tried experimenting with different materials and how such changes affect conduction, which is pretty simple. Just a general tip: Try to do something you enjoy, or at least something you're interested in. Also, I remember I was sometimes concerned about ideas being too simple, but the simpler ones are actually a good way to go (within reason, of course!) because they allow you more page count for explanation and in-depth analysis. Also, you seem to be under time pressure, so stick to the simpler ideas Good luck!! If you need more help just hit up this thread. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
