Well thankfully this is DD's last year having to complete a "Science Fair" project!
For those of you who may be similarly situated, wondering if you had done any projects related to snow, altitude or skiing? This year we wanted a project related to our love of snow sports -- and had come up with a few ideas....
1. Effects of different gases used to fill potato chip bags and increasing Altitude (nothing like that exploding bag of chips going from 10ft to 11,000 above sea level)
2. Does being on "vacation/ holiday" increase alcohol consumption at lunch time at ski resorts?
3. Ocular Dominance and Footedness in Snowboarders. During that last 5 hour drive home we came up with this, and she will be starting her survey next weekend -- seems most people are right eye dominant, and its a split 50/50 for footedness which means not only do snowboarders have a blind spot, but their down hill eye is not their dominant! Will be interesting to see the numbers.... (this could also be done w/ surfer/ skate boarders).
would love to know if anyone had any other ideas !
