A study looks at the state of a system, research paper, or scientific polling. This is something that is often done when someone is curious about a topic that may not be possible to explore in an experiment. Looking into the topic of AIDS is an example, the topic could be researched but there is no way it would be possible to conduct an experiment dealing with AIDS.

       These may include things such as:
 
             - testing the water in the river for different materials.
 
             - looking at the link between smoking and educational background.
 
             - determining if there is a link between exercise and mental alertness.

If you choose a study, you must answer the following questions and submit them to Mr. Sklar

              a) Where will you gather factual information relating to your project?

              b) Who are you going to access for information?

              c) What areas of the subject are you going to be looking at?

              d) How will you analyze the data you collect, what materials will need?
