Help with science project?
I need suggestions on whether to do a report on either how a vp shunt gets infected, how it is treated, why a shunt needs to be put in due to hydrocephalus or how a brain tumor is formed and how it is treated.

I'd go with the shunt indication option. (Although this depends on your education level). If you're doing a degree in science, the infection option may be good. If you're doing medicine or a PhD, then the brain tumour option (you could write a book on that, and a 'brain tumour' would include hundreds of different kinds of neoplasms and would seriously need to be narrowed down - even for a PhD thesis topic)!
The indications for shunt placement is a better option for high school, and even if you are doing a Bachelor of Science. The difference would be the detail you'd go into. If you went into huge detail... I'm talking indications, complications, failure rates, alternatives and prognosis sort of detail, you could even pick this for medschool or postgraduate study topics.

Depends on what grade you are in but here is a good one. Sleep Deprivation Human subjects are best but if you can not get no volunteers rats will do test their abilities in hand eye coordination concentration and memory You do this by giving simple test and video taping them as well as taking detailed notes. Then you began the Sleep Deprivation after three days test and video tape and take detailed notes of the subjects abilities to preform theses tasks after being deprived of sleep be sure to record in your notes the Speed of each response before hand and after For the memory part a multiple choice test that is exactly the same a the one given before hand is best and for the concentration have the subjects read a short book and record and note their eye movements Also record and note which subject do no make it though the project and the time they failed for hand,eye test use something soft like a beach ball and toss it to them recording and noting speed response and ability to cacth the ball Make you notes into an eye catching presentation write your findings on index cards and place them with the presentation and read them after you show the video. It is fun to di and will probably win.
