This page is meant to list possible experiments researchers could do. All types of science goes in, statistical, theoretical, or otherwise. Got an idea, but not the time/energy/motivation? Add it in.

Biology

Knowledge Desired: Jungle growth rates + nearby jungle's affect on it

Scale: Medium

Risk: Medium-Low

Time Use: High

AP Use: Low

Go to a islet such as those near Durham and York, or to a small peninsula such as this. Clear cut half the islet/the whole peninsula. For as far out as your remaining AP allows/the rest of the islet, chop the surrounding jungle to a specific density. Record the jungle growth in multiple graphs, one per change.

Objectology

Otherology

Research Tips & Tricks

The scientific method
  • Follow the scientific method.
    • Ask a Question
    • Do Background Research
    • Construct a Hypothesis(optinal)
    • Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
    • Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
    • Communicate Your Results
  • Record as much data as possible. Charms, date, location, etc. What may seem irrelevant today may be proven a variable tomorrow.
  • It is important for you to change only one variable and keep all other conditions the same.
  • Repeat your experiment several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident.
  • Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy researcher using the pages such as Theorems to help you find the best way to do things and insure that you don't repeat mistakes from the past.
  • Record your data in your character profile(or similar location), premade chart, or in a talk page about something in which the data is relevant.
