In senior biology im expected to think up a project for an extended experimental investigation. The only problem is that since the teachers been taking the class for about 10 years everything i've though of has already been done.

i can technically choose from anything as long as she approves however the majority of people choose bacterial growth plates ect.

i need a really good project, i was thinking something in virology, anybody care to contribute?

Also, in my lab a lot of the time we transform arabidopsis plants and study the phenotypic effects with and w/o inoculation of plant parasites. You could grow wild type arabidopsis as control and concurrently grow arabidopsis and inoculate it with a parasite. In our lab we work with cyst and root knot nematodes. All the supplies are cheap (12 well plates, arabidopsis seed, nematodes), and the phenotypic effects of being parasitized are dramatic.

we have a fairly standard lab with almost every chemical available. we also have access to a centrifuge, almost every chemical glass apparatus possible and we have about 4m squared to leave our project

she did mention its possible to do something with rodents but shed rather it didnt involve murdering them

that does sound pretty good but how quickly am i able to obtain results?
