Hi,
For this years science fair, I have a lot of determination to get in to my regional science fair. Last year I did attend, but however did not win any awards since my experiment idea was not very creative as others. This year I was thinking of doing an experiment about the eye and its vision or even anything environmental. I want to create this vision simulation, which others have done in the past, but want to create and maybe discover something new.Even a environment experiment which helps the earth in someone way could also be taken into consideration. Please help and respond if you have any ideas!
I am in grade 9 by the way, but I will be against grades all the way to 12.
After some research I found the experiment “Do you hear what you see.” As I find this very interesting, I was wondering what fo I get out of this experiment. What is the “so what” of this experiment and the significance it gives to us. Any feed back is appreciative!
Thank you,
Nevaeh

Re: Science fair Ideas
Hi Nevaeh!
Thank you for reaching out!
To answer your first question, I encourage you to explore the projects offered by Science Buddies! Here are some environmental and eye-based project that might interest you:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... eo/red-eye (eye-based)
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... il-erosion (environmental)
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... er-quality (environmental)
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... h-of-water (environmental)
To answer your second question:
“Do You Hear What You See?” is really more of an exploratory project, to help you understand how virtual reality works! However, you can definitely trace the McGurk effect that is explored in this project to other real-world applications; it is generally a phenomenon that demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision in speech perception – and can be seen in many psychological experiments!
Hope this helps, and let us know if you have more questions!
