These are Research Ideas for Natural Systems 1, Fall'00. Please feel free to browse...

You can Input Your Research Ideas/Questions , and then review feedback on this page. Or, just look at what other students plan to do.

Peer Review is a fundamental component of doing science.To help make your discussion projects more scientifically sound, you are being called upon to put forward ideas, proposals, lab packets and final report as well as provide feedback to your peers.

Each Project Idea must include (1) a Research Question(s); (2) Specific Predictions; (3) a Preliminary Research Design; and, (4) a Minimum of 5 Library/Journal references that relate to your research question.

Some Important Considerations: (1) Be practical! Not all questions are "good" questions! (2) Discuss your research ideas with a Peer Science Tutor. They were once where you are now!; and (3) It's your idea. Make it work!
