Science experiments (PHEOC) ideas…?

Question:
Hope you’re having a good day. My physics teacher assigned a sciene experiment; and 2 days from now, we have to have an experiment thought up / picked out. He does not want it to be biologiy related (eg: plant growing one). He wants it to be a physical sciene related one. he gave a few suggestions; which batter brand lasts the longest, which toilet paper brand absorbs the most liquid, does reaction time vary at different times of the day, etc.

I don’t have a lot of resources and don’t want to do anything I can’t test; he said we have to be able to take 3 pictures to prove we are doing the experiment, record reliable and accurate data, and be able to make a graph, pie chart, or something along those lines with the data. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Question:
My teacher has rejected all of mine and I am in a big dilemma since I am a senior and I’m in hopes of winning a scholarship at the Regional Science fair.

He said it could be on any topic and can include engineering.
I guess I’m freaking out because I need to submit an outline by Friday and still don’t know what I should do. I have scoured the internet but have not found anything creative and/or challenging.

Complexity really isn’t an issue nor is time. I just want something that will give me hopes of winning. :)
Resources would be nice as well.

Thanks so much!
I also have access to MIT’s labs so the sky is the limit.
the trebuchet idea is really good but i’d probably use it for more harm than good.

Anyone have suggestions on how to make fast air cars? The little ones for physics experiments?

Question:
It doesn’t necessarily have to be powered by a propeller. “Air car” is just a name. I’ve heard of cars powered by moustraps and balloons. I sort of need one that can travel at least 5 m, with good speed since it’s gonna be in a race. I just wanna hear if any of you guys have any suggestions or stuff. This is for a physics experiment we have in school. Thanks. :)

If the spacetime continuum is a fabric, then can a hole, gash or rip be broken into it?

Question:
Today in my physics class which does absolutely nothing I asked my teacher to describe the spacetime continuum to me and he said it was basically a fabric or canvas stretched out. He explained how gravity worked under this context and how light can even be affected by gravity, if it can be manipulated like a fabric in such a sense, then can it be torn or pierced like a fabric? If so how? Are there any resources on this subject that I should look over? thank you ahead of time

Question:
@ school I have to present an experiment to explain physics in household items. The thing I think of off the top of my head is the physics of a bouncing ball, but I want to do something that no one else will do, but is not too complicated.

Question:
I’ve got to do the MYP Personal Project and I want to do it about quantum physics. Are there any experiments I can do related to this that aren’t too simple but impossible to do either? thanks a lot

Any physics experiments on fuels and energy?

Question:
Please if you have got any sugestions on what physics experiments i could do on fuels and energy (except checking energy values) I wold be very grateful. It doesn’t have to be super complicated, just important stuff you could investigate on fuels e.g energy density, density, viscosity, miscibility etc.i just need some more factors in order to write a report.
Thanks
