How to Make a Physics Project

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Most if not all Physics classes demand at least one project be created and they base the final grade on the quality of the project. The best projects are usually the ones that are thought about carefully and those that you are truly interested in making. So when the project date is assigned, do not waste a minute thinking up the subject of the project that you would like to make.

Steps

1. Wait until you are assigned to create a class project in your Physics class.
   
2. Give thought to a variety of project ideas that might interest you.
   
3. Do not stop at the first idea that pops into your mind. Wait until you feel excited at the thought of a particular project and then go for it.
   
4. Research your project subject. Find out all you can about it, how it works, and how it can be duplicated.
   
5. Write down the items that you need to get or buy in order to create this particular project.
   
6. Learn how to scale it down, if your project subject is large. Figure out how to present it. Discuss it with family or friends, to see how they feel about it.
   
7. Start working on it, or building it, as soon as you get everything you need for it.
   

Tips

• 1. Depending on what your project entails, make sure that what you need to buy does not go over what the amount you set aside to spend.
     
  2. Try to make whatever you can by yourself instead of buying it.
     
  
  

Warnings

• 1. Do not wait until a week before the due date to start to think about a project.
