I remember one time I did a project on the rate ice melts at in different locations. I was kind of annoyed when I passed it though because the results were so obvious...

Ha, I did something similar. I tested the results of how ice melted when exposed to different things (salt, coke, lemon juice, water) and I totally just faked the results, and made the poster last second, LOL. The teacher basically made my poster.

Is this the same as Scientific method? well if its the same, look at what I made:
I remember that I made a simple project some time ago, I put 3 glasses filled with water, the first one was clean, the second one had salt and the third one had sugar. After I put a piece of towel on it and I kept holding it for some minutes (I don't remember... maybe 5?) and I wrote the water progression in a paper. I did the same for the other 2 glasses. It was kinda easy, and I got the max calification LOL you should try it
If its like a hmm... a big thing where everyone shows their projects, then I really reccomend you to go to this page. It has saved me for A LOT of projects I made the trebuchet that you can see in the engineering projects
Well good luck with your project!

I went with testing the difference between plants in soil with earthworms and plants with just ordinary soil. Hopefully my teacher thinks this is a high school level project. If not, then

btw, under what topic of science would this project fall under?
