Dermatology Science Project
I am doing my project on hand/body lotion on what one retains the most moisture. Is there any other variations that I can do to this. I got that info from www.fellowshipch.org. And what should I write my research paper on
Re: Dermatology Science Project
I suggest doing research on the properties of skin. You probably also want to look up evaporation and osmosis; if you have time, you might want to do some research on some of the issues that terrestrial vertebrates faced when they evolved, including water loss.
The set-up as described in the project you linked to is fairly limited, but perhaps you could test different shampoos, which are also supposed to retain moisture in hair? Remember to test several samples of each.

Re: Dermatology Science Project
I am doing 14 different lotions and oils and 1 control how would I be able to measure the hair
Re: Dermatology Science Project
You wouldn't, you would test for water loss the same way you are currently testing the lotions.
When I said several samples of each, I meant several samples of each lotion so you can get an average rate of evaporation from each.
