Calling It Quits: What Is the Most Effective Way to Quit Smoking?

This project's objective is to find the most effective way to quit smoking.
I would like to conduct this science experiment because we often hear how difficult it is to quit smoking and that although the smokers would like too quit they are too addicted to the nicotine and they can't find a method that works. This project would show the most effective quitting methods and be able to put them out for people to pick and choose from. They would be able to see the result's of the other smoker's or ex-smoker's that chose the method and compare their results to their's. Smoking causes many health problems, highlighting the best methods to quit will help develop preventive health strategies to promote the methods that work and decreasing the risk of health problems associated with smoking.

Why Are Teens Stressed?

This project's objective is to find the main source of teen's stress.
I would like to conduct this science experiment because I as a teenager often hear complaint's from my peer's about how they haven't been able to sleep because of there stress or how there teacher is putting extra pressure on there already hectic life. Finding the teen's source of stress would be beneficial because we would be able too maybe find a way to calm down that source of anxiety and allow the teen to live a more relaxing life. Teen's also suffer from loss of sleep do to stress and often resort to extreme messure's to 'relive' the stress. This would help teen's cope and find out there source of stress and how too find solutions on how to calm themselves.

What Conflicting Mental Tasks Reveal About Thinking: The Stroop Effect

This project's objective is too test the Stroop Effect. It is attempt to unravel the workings of thought processes that involve attention, perception, reading, and naming. I would like to conduct this science experiment because I have always been intrigued by the way information is processed in the brain. This project involves reading a color name with the name being in a different color. Such as the word being red but read being the color yellow. In this case the brain is tempted to say yellow because that is the color but must say red because that is the word on the page. Understanding how we process information in the brain provides clues to how the normal brain works and how it is affected when disease occurs.
