If you are still struggling with ideas, here is a list compiled by Ms.Peres:

1. The backyard does not receive a lot of light. The family would like to grow a veggie patch. How will this lack of sunlight affect the veggie patch?

6. What type of food wrap best prevents the loss of moisture from green beans stored in the refrigerator?
7. Which water-proofing agent is most effective when coated on cotton fabric?
8. Does salt make ice melt faster?
9. Which brand of potting mix has the highest water retention capacity?
10. Which colour of fabric blocks the most UV light?
11. Does an increase in carbon dioxide affect the rate of growth of plants?
12. Does soil type affect the rate of growth of plants. eg loam. peat, clay, sandy, silt.
13. Which soft drink contains the most carbon dioxide?

What do I include in my blog? 

Remember your blog is documentation of your work!!

Below is an outline of ideas you could include in your blog:

• Brainstorm
• Mind map
• Library/internet searches
• Phone calls
• Interviews
• Meetings with mentors
• Notes from field visits if any and other related activities
• At least one of your blog entries must contain links or clips of your research articles. Summarise the key points from these articles.
• Include reflections in your blog. For example, how can I make further improvements to the experimental methodology? How could I improve the reliability, validity and accuracy of the experiment?
• Include images or videos of you conducting your experiment, especially if you have chosen to conduct the experiment at home
