method

Aim
To determine which mixture of chemicals in nail polish lasts the longest

Equipment

• different colour nail polish 
• plastic strips
• plastic containers
• vinegar
• nail polish remover
• cotton bud sticks

Method

1. list the materials of each nail polish down
2. paint a square (2cm by 2cm) using each colour on a plastic strip. To refine the square to make it as accurate as possible, use the cotton bud sticks and the nail polish remover to completely remove smudges.
3. pour 300ml of vinegar into a plastic container, thus giving the nail polish time to dry
4. submerge the plastic strip with the nail polish squares in the vinegar (making sure that the nail polish has dried)
5. leave the container in a stabe environment, making sure to check up on it on regular time periods
6. repeat the experiment. Repetition of the experment can be held at the same time to reduce variables
7. after 4 weeks, take the plastic strip out and measure each square. this can be done by laying the strip on grid paper
8. record and analyse

sorry

i havnt been here in a while, yes i know and am aware of this. ive been on the internet on my ipod for the past 2weeks because its much more convienient and last time i check, blogspot doesnt like ipods :(

woo ! done LOOK MISS I DID IT HAHA :D

new, and hopefully failproof (fingers crossed) experiment

which brand of nail polish last the longest

rough idea but the basis is i buy different brands of nail poils of the same colour (or try to). i paint a square of each brand on a plastic strip of some sort. i'll sure nail polish remover to get it right. then i soak the strip with the nail polish blobs in vinegar (?). they'll be in plastic containers and this way i can do the whole thing all at the one time. to measure out the amount thats been worn away, ill place the plastic strips on grid paper and estimate to the best of my abilitys.

LEST HOPE THIS'LL BE ALRIGHT DX

lets hope this doesnt fail

right, ive decided to carry out an experiment with the effects that energy drinks have on the body. praying that this wont be too hard.

aim
to examine the effects, and the length of time the effects last for, due to energy drink consumption

hypothesis
drinks with higher sugar/carbohydrate levels will act faster but last shorter than those with lower levels

equipment 
various energy drinks

• red bull
• sports drinks
• the new "shots" that are no out

the specific products used will be determined later

(proposed) method

1. gather the energy depending on my budget on the day
2. measure the heart rate of the subjects
   NOTE the subject wont eat anything a hour prior to the experiment. mean yes. im sorry future subject(s).
3. measure the heart rate at different, yet constant, time intervals. (might have to ask round for something that can help me measure the heart rate every two minutes or so)
4. when the heart rate increases, record the minute or time it does and how long the increased heart rate lasts for ie write down the time it takes from when the heart rate starts to increase to the time it returns to original rate. 
5. keep recording for a few minutes (just incase the rate decreases which would be interesting. the much talked bout "high and low" cycle)
6. repeat with different subjects and different drinks 

yes it needs more fine detail. im working on it.

idea !

maybe i could observe the effects of stimulants (energy drinks, caffeine etc) on the human body. this'll involve the limitation of the food intake before and after the consumption of the stimulants. i'll measure the heart rate. good idea :)

ideas?

no ideas really. had some but then i lost the,. must remember to write ideas down before i lose them
