Project Question: HI. i was wondering what would be a good project to do about enviromental sciencce that is challenging, and inexpensive. I really liked the wood vs. alternatives, but it was a little hard to understand about what i could do as a project, if you cant think of anything easier, id like to compare clear cutting to thin cutting or something, i'd like something challenging so i have a good chance if you can think of a project. thank you!
Project Due Date: late january, early february(unsure exact date)
Project Status: I am just starting

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me, i've never used this. :) I love enviromental science, so that's what I would like to do for my science project, i showed some interests into the wood vs. altenternatives, but it was a little big hard to understand, so i did some research on thin cutting, and clear cutting, and i liked that, so i was wondering if you could give me an idea on how i may experiment on this, and showing the amount of forest, animals, and economic opportunties are being missed. So, i've done a little bit of research, i just don't how i'd experiment. please help! thank you. :D

Hi,

Your topic is very broad. You could possibly do a survey type project that is mostly research based. You first need to come up with a hypothesis and then you can decide the best way to test it.

Alternately, I would suggest that you check out the Science Buddies science fair project ideas to get an idea of some of the methods used in enviromental science projects:

Hopefully this will help you to focus your interests so you can come up a testable hypothesis.
