![]() Each idea is linked to a more detailed explanation.What happens as your marble races down your marble run? First, when you raise your marble off the ground, you give it gravitational potential energy*. Be sure to follow the STARR Research Proposal process as outlined in the IJAS Online Handbook. IJAS members have access to Iowa scientists and science educators for comments and suggestions regarding their projects. Use them to develop your own questions, hypothesis, and investigations. The ideas below come from several sources and may or may not be suitable as a final research project. This includes animal but not human behavior and all aspects of genetics that involve animal or animal cells. ZOOLOGY – The study of invertebrates and vertebrates except for microorganisms. This includes the studies of cells, cellular processes and genetics as they pertain to plants or microorganisms.ġ6. PLANT SCIENCES & MICROBIOLOGY – The study of plants and plant life and the study of microorganisms. PSYCHOLOGY (PSY) – The study of all aspects of human thought processes and behavior.ġ5. This also includes astronomy, the study of the science of the stars, planets, galaxies, and all other heavenly bodies, including the exploration of space by manned and unmanned spacecraft. PHYSICS – The study of inanimate matter and energy relationships exclusive of chemical change. This does not include chemical change and does include astronomy.ġ4. PHYSICAL SCIENCE – The study of matter and energy and the interaction between the two. MICROBIOLOGY & CELL BIOLOGY – Any aspect of the study of microorganisms (bacteria, protozoans, algae, and fungi) and the study of the cellular and subcellular levels involving chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology.ġ3. MEDICINE & HEALTH – The study of the various sciences related to structure, function, and diseases of humans and laboratory animals.ġ2. MATHEMATICS, STATISTICS & COMPUTER SCIENCE – The studies of problems in all mathematical areas pure and applied statistics and computers, computer programs, and programming.ġ1. HUMAN BEHAVIOR – The study of all aspects of learning and behavior of humans.ġ0. This also includes the study of the history of the earth, structure of the earth and its environment including archeology, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and paleontology.ĩ. ENVIRONMENTAL & EARTH SCIENCE – The study of the effects resulting from the natural and/or man-made environment or effects from pollution factors. ENGINEERING – The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, materials, construction, and operation of efficient and economical physical systems.Ĩ. ENGINEERING & MATHEMATICS – The study of the practical application of the design, materials, construction, and operation of physical systems, and any study relating to mathematics, statistics or computer programming.ħ. ECOLOGY/EARTH SCIENCES – The study of the environment alone and/or the interactions of living things with the environment and the study of the earth, structure of the earth and sciences related to the earth.Ħ. ![]() CHEMISTRY – The study of the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems.ĥ. This includes all aspects of genetics that involve plants or plant cells.ģ. CHEMICAL SCIENCE – The study of matter, its properties and the changes it undergoes.Ĥ. It does not include the study of human behavior. This also includes the study of the behavior of animals. This includes the studies of cells, cell processes and genetics. ![]() ANIMAL & HUMAN SCIENCES – The study of all animals and animal life (including humans), and the study of diagnosing, treating and preventing disease. IJAS provides hands-on science experiences and opportunities to meet and benefit from contact with Iowa scientists and science educators.ġ. As students gain experience they become more confident about their work. While Iowa Junior Academy of Science student research is not expected to be original some experienced student researchers conduct original research and occasionally make new discoveries. This list is designed to get you thinking. Some of the best research projects are based upon what interests the student. There are many possible areas in which to do research. The student's grade, background, and previous experience will guide what might interest them. The following disciplines are suggested to get students thinking about general areas of study. ![]()
