A List Of Intriguing Topics For High School Term Papers
A term paper requires in-dept study and research and therefore requires topics that allow for the formation of hypotheses. As a result, these will involve the study of entire systems, made up of many individual parts that perform a task or cause a phenomena which can be observed by humans, who then formulate a hypothesis based on the available information.
The steps that must be taken to achieve this can be listed as follows:
- Formulate a hypothesis and determine an experiment to identify the process in each case.
- Observations are to be stated clearly and concisely to facilitate better understanding of data by anyone who may review your paper.
- Reasons for choosing each method of experimentation must be stated as well as the rejected options. Proper and reliable equipment is key for trustworthy experimental results.
- Required apparatus and conditions must be listed. All processes are subject to effects of their environment.
The following represent topics in two diverse fields:
Biology
- Cell Division, what is Mitosis and Meiosis and why is each process necessary.
- The different structure found in the heart and how each part contributes to the purpose of the heart.
- The Human Skeletal Structure and the functions of the different bones.
- How to determine functions of the different parts of the brain.
- The structure of the eye and how they work to produce 3-d vision.
- The functions of the different components of blood and why they are necessary.
- Evolution of different species in nature and evidence to support it.
- How to determine if a microscopic life form is anaerobic or aerobic.
- The role Genetics play in daily life and how they affect our development as species.
- The different Micro-organisms that can and do exists in the human body and how they affect our life.
Geography
- What are the geographical process that resulted in the formation of fossil fuels and how are we able to determine this and use it to find fossil fuels.
- How can we determine the processes that lead to the formations of present day geographical landscapes and rock structures
- How to locate tectonic plates and determine their role in earthquakes locations and times.
- How present day species of fauna came to be at their current geographical locations and how do we determine whether it was as a result of a geographical change or a climate change.
- The different conditions and states of the earth’s crust that facilitates the formation of different volcano types and structure.
