A STATEMENT OF YOUR RESEARCH TITLE
:The History of golf balls, how they are made and the role that they play in the game called golf.

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FOCUSSED
: It is focussed as the research title is very specific, focussed and gives a clear indication of the subjects of study.
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT
: It is significant as it is the only type of ball that is used in the game of golf, and improvements may be implemented based on the research.
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FEASIBLE
: It is feasible as it is not hard to do and resources are more or less readily available.  This is because golf balls are small and can be easily found/ bought and it is within our means.
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT MANAGEABLE
: It is manageable as all of the golf balls have about the same weight and size.  Therefore, it is manageable as the golf balls are all about the same and there is only one type of golf ball that we would have to research on.

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT ACCESSIBLE
: It is accessible as many people have already conducted similar research and information is readily available on the internet.

A STATEMENT OF YOUR RESEARCH TITLE
: How people interpret optical illusions

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FOCUSSED
: Concentrating on how the illusions affect people

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT
: It reflects the way we think about optical illusions when we see them

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FEASIBLE
: There are many types of optical illusions and different optical illusions get different results from different people.

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT MANAGEABLE
: It does require much resources and time and optical illusions are also found very easily.

EXPLAIN WHY IS IT ACCESSIBLE
: There are optical illusions everywhere.  (-:

(A) A statement of your research title
Differences in the influence of genres RnB music and Heavy metal music
(B) Explain why is it focussed
We are only concentrating on two popular genres in the music industry on how differently they are affecting people in their life. Besides this research is confined to between only SST students.
(C) Explain why is it significant
We are able to narrow down from this research that which genre of songs of the two is a better and safer one to hear.
(D) Explain why is it feasible
These two genres of songs can be easily found now and it should be easier for us to compare the two genres based on a song each from the genres individually.
(E) Explain why is it manageable
Students nowadays have a touch for music, it can arouse them to be interested to be part of this research.
(F) Explain why is it accesible
Survey can be carried out within the school population, or we can use the web to push off our findings to another level.
(G) State at least 3 sources of information that you will be drawing your research upon (3 links) and why you choose them
• http://wikipedia.org/
• http://answers.yahoo.com/
• http://www.anus.com
(H) State your type of data collection as in tip 5
Surveys and web researches

A STATEMENT OF YOUR RESEARCH TITLE
: Vehicle that provides as much speed while using as little force as possible
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FOCUSSED
: It is a vehicle that uses little force
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT
: It brings something to the world of transportation something revolutionary
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FEASIBLE
: Based on what Physics would tell us, we can create a vehicle like this
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT MANAGEABLE
: Physics is a subject that we learn and is a bit knowledgable on.
EXPLAIN WHY IS IT ACCESSIBLE
: If more information is needed, the web should provide enough assistance

(A) Aerodynamics of vehicles, cars and helicopters (remote controlled)

(B) It is focused as aerodynamics only applies to movement and can be applied to all vehicles

(C) As vehicles are commonly used, making them aerodynamic decreases the effort and energy they consume.

(D) It is feasible as the vehicles are remote controlled toys.

(E) It is manageable as the remote controlled vehicles are very small, lightweight and we have a required software to assist us

(F) It is accessible as remote controlled cars and helicopters are accessible in toy stores. We also own our own remote controlled cars and helicopters.
