SAPS Student Project - plant investigations 
This is a SAPS student project starter, for Biology students studying A-levels, Scottish Highers and IB who are planning their independent investigation or extended project. It contains ideas for investigations on a topic, and outlines of the scientific techniques needed for these investigations.
Stuck for ideas for your project? Interested in plants? Here are some ideas. But a good starting point is to have a close look at some plants, e.g. the 'weeds', which grow around your house or in the school grounds. Many of these have amazing survival strategies - which is why they are such successful weeds. Alternatively, sow some seeds and watch them grow. Make a note of any interesting observations. Then get into the habit of asking yourself some simple questions about your observations. It is quite likely that, sooner or later, one of your questions will turn into a good project.
