Running a gel will tell you several different things. First, in order to understand what you want to find, you need to understand what running a gel will do. After cutting your DNA with a restriction enzyme and adding the other necessary components, the DNA is inserted into the agarose gel's wells a...

methionine:

It is a bit hard to understand your proposed topic. What is the purpose of your experiment, your question?

I recently did a project myself running gels for a paternity testing simulation, so I hope that I can help you out.

Blake- Did you mean to ask if fish see in color? According to WonderQuest (http://www.wonderquest.com/FishSeeColor.htm) fish do see in color, but in certain circumstances, that color eyesight is not necessary. First, before you jump into this project and get your mind set on this topic, make sure yo...

Another twist on the project could be using a slice of bread to grow mold, and testing disinfectants straight on the bread slice soaked in water to induce molding. If you do plan to do this project, be sure to get preservative free bread (check out whole foods or another health store) And you must r...

You could just reword the project and test the effects of disinfectant on fungi, such as yeast. It wouldn't be hard, it would just be testing different variables.

The biggest difference between using fungi and bacteria is that the fungi might be more resistant to your disinfectant, but it all depends on what you plan to use.

Perhaps, instead of doing that project, and you are interested in using saliva, you could test if saliva does have disinfectant qualities. This type of project has been done before, a quick search on google should help you to find it. You could also incorporate this into the project you are looking ...

Keep looking at projects that interest you; don't narrow yourself to just bacteria and pills. Expand your search on the science fair ideas page. I can guarantee you will find more than one topic in another category that will interest you.

Bacteria is best obtained from your teacher who can specially order it just for your project. Now, about your question of saliva being a disinfectant, I cannot find a reliable source on the internet. I will however keep searching. There is information about this topic on Wikipedia, but most teachers...

Unfortunately I cannot tell you what to do for your science project. I am simply a guide to answer any questions about projects. Look at the Life Sciences Ideas and if you see a project you would like to do, come ask me some questions about it, I'm here to make this process less stressful, but not c...

If your teacher fears that topic will not be "catchy" enough, you should steer away from pills and stomach acid. Try looking around the project ideas page and find something you think your teacher would find engaging.

If you were perhaps to use the Drug Solubility experiment, there will be no involvement with humans or other living organisms. The experiment would consist of testing the times or accuracy of dissolving pills in a base. The example gives you the basic range of the stomach (1-2). You would simply nee...

Hello. I would suggest visiting the Science Fair Project Ideas web page (there is a link in the top left hand corner, or you can just click here https://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/project_ideas.shtml ). Since you would like to work with pills and stomach acid, click on the link to Pharmacology...
