Okay, so Im in a total rut. Because I hate science projects so much, I procrastinated doing it until the last minute. Now I only have until the last week of April to do my project and have no idea what Im doing. gonk
1. It must be quick, something that I could do multiple trials at one time because of my lack of time (which I take full blame for)
2. I enjoy genetics, behavioral science, and anatomy most of all in biology if that helps at all.
I appreciate all ideas...and will accept them if theyre awesome.
Thanks in advance!

PS Im in 9th grade

What are the requirements for the project?
Until I know what you need, I don't know what to recommend.

This is the easiest biology project you can do and I've seen many biology classes do it. It's the zone of inhibition test. Take a plastic dish - you need a lid with a good fit on it. Fill it with nutrient agar. With a Q-tip, get a sample of bacteria (either from shoe, fish tank, bottom of toilet bowl, etc, these are all good places) and streak it over the nutrient agar. Seal the dish airtight Wait like 2-3 days for concentrated bacterial colonies to form. Take another plastic dish and put nutrient agar and take a Q-tip and place it in the bacterial colonies and streak it. Seal the dish airtight, wait for bacteria to spread. Take small bits of paper and put it in solutions that claim to kill bacteria. Take pper out and put it in the plastic dish. Small tablets of penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, tetracyline, etc also work. Only 3 bits of paper/tablets to one dish Wait 2 days. Measure the zone of inhibition with a ruler.

Okay Something that is both relatively quick and easy is to have like two or three different breeds of dogs/cats/fish/whatever sort of animal that you can get your hands on. You see how they react to different environments. Say take a dog to the park and record say, 30 minutes or so of their behavior types and stimuli. Then take it to the beach or pool or somthing like that, maybe a hike, and record behavior and stimuli, then take it to your house and record behavior and stimuli. Then make sure you repeat with one, two or three other dogs/cats/whatever.
Its both fun (if you like animals) and relatively easy. If you can't get a friend or someone in your family to let you "borrow" their pets then you can always ask nieghbors or someone who knows you if you can observe their pet while say walking it or something like that. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
