Question: What about these questions for a research paper: "How does Lupus affect the body?" and "What causes Lupus?"
Answer: A research paper which is seeking to explain the symptoms of a disease, or the progression of a disease can be done with a question like, "How does (name the disease) affect the body?" but a better wording might be:
"What are the symptoms of (disease)?"
"How is (disease) diagnosed?"
However, that sort of descriptive paper is not really a research paper that investigates a question about a disease or health condition which does not have an already-agreed-upon answer. The second question, "What causes Lupus?" can be a good research question if the disease is not completely understood. Since Lupus is an auto-immune disease and since there is still research being done to understand all of the causes, that question would work well. Here are some other research questions which can be used for a health condition:
What is the most effective treatment for (disease or condition)?
Do alternative therapies (you could name a specific one) really work for (disease or condition)?
What genetic or environmental risks make people vulnerable to (disease or condition)?
Question: What are some possible topics on biology for a science research paper?
Answer: Look under "Molecular biology and genetics topics," "biochemistry" or "ecology for topics which relate to biology or the life sciences. Biology refers to "study of life" so anything which is alive is included under that topic. You can also find some easier topics in the life science in these articles:
1. Look at the "Environment" section on: https://hubpages.com/humanities/Essay-Topic-Ideas....
2. Here are some argumentative topics: https://hubpages.com/academia/100-Easy-Argumentati...

Question: What is the easiest science topic for a research paper?
Answer: No single topic is the easiest to do for everyone. To pick the easiest topic for you, choose one that:
1. Is interesting to you.
2. Is a topic you already know something about.
3. Is something you have an opinion about.
I always suggest that students start with 3 possible topics. Then they should start doing a bit of Google searching to find out more. The easiest topic is one that you can find articles for right away.

Question: How would you know which research paper topic is best for you?
Answer: Generally, I tell my students to narrow their choice to two or three topic questions that interest them the most. Then start reading about those topics by doing a Google search to find out just a little bit more about them. Find out what are the possible answers for that question and see how hard it is to get information on that topic. The easiest paper to write will be:
1. A topic you already know a lot about.
2. A topic you find a lot of information about when you are researching.
3. Something that is interesting to you.
Question: Can you suggest a research topic for grade 11?
Answer: I have a lot of high school topics in this article: https://owlcation.com/humanities/150-Argument-Essa...
Question: How should I start my research project?
Answer: 1. The most crucial first step is understanding what is required by your instructor or mentor.
Look at all of the instructions you have been given, and ask questions if you don't understand. Write out those instructions for yourself in your own words and then show them to your instructor to see if you are correct in your understanding.
2. After you are sure you understand, you need to pick a topic for researching. To do that, you will need to look at my lists here and in other articles I've written.
3. After you have chosen a topic area, you will need to look up the research that has already been done on that topic. If your project needs to be original, you must also be careful to understand all of the research which has been done previously to make sure you are not repeating what has been done by someone else. There must be something new that you are contributing to science. However, for some projects in lower levels of learning of high school and undergraduate education, it is all right to repeat or summarize the projects of others.
4. Now that you have gathered the information on your topic, read it carefully and take notes. Use those notes to formulate your thesis question.
5. After you have your question, you can then write a thesis answer. If you are doing an actual science project, then you will have to devise an experiment to test that question. If you are doing a written essay based on the research writing of others, you can write your answers to the question based on what you have read in your literature search.
5. Using those thesis answers, you can begin to put your outline together.
6. Use my information about how to write a research paper to help you finish your project.
Question: Can you suggest some research paper topics about molecular medicine in relation to RFLP and diabetes?
Answer: A good way to find some specific research topics is to look at non-profits who sponsor research in that area.

Several non-profits are sponsoring Diabetes research including the American Diabetes Foundation.
Question: Can you suggest a research paper where humans are the respondents or the subject of the experiment?
Answer: Any topic in biology which relates to humans or psychology should work. Check out the topics in this article on Psychology topics: https://hubpages.com/humanities/Easy-Essay-Topics-...

Question: Would this make a good topic for a science research paper: "Is it true that sperm cells can help to remove pimples and keep the skin smooth and healthy?"
Answer: You can do a variety of papers on the topic of skin care, or on the idea of using unusual treatments. Here are some topic examples:
1. Does (natural remedy which is trendy) really help improve skin?
2. What products really work to help teenagers with pimples?
3. Are there products or treatments for pimples which do more harm than good?
Question: Is there any research topic related to finance and marketing? A significant portion of our lives are devoted to earning money, but I'd also like a topic that talks about how finance helps run the world and improve our lives.
Answer: You are correct that no science project is useful unless it is eventually developed into a product and marketed widely. That will involve getting financing and a company to do that marketing. Here are some topics related to that:
1. What is the process of taking a science idea and turning it into a product?
2. How does a biotech company effectively finance and market a product?
3. How can business people best market new technologies?
4. How can marketing be used to help the world to run better and use new technologies more effectively?
5. How can people in finance help new technologies be used in poorer countries?
Question: What do you think of the research paper topic, "What is the relevance of mathematics to learning physics"?
Answer: I think that the word you should focus on would be "importance" rather than "relevance," because I believe the issue behind your question is that people do not believe that mathematics is important in physics. As a matter of fact, my son (an engineering student) found that his physics courses in high school actually were the most helpful courses he had to prepare him for his college mathematics courses. Here are some other topic questions related to this one:
1. What is the importance of studying math to be prepared for learning physics?
2. How does mathematics research illuminate or drive physics research?
3. How can mathematicians and physics researchers work together to solve big problems?
4. What are the most interesting mathematical problems in physics research today?

Answer: 1. What is the best way to do seismic auditing and retrofitting of old buildings?
2. Is fiber reinforced cement and composites a good choice? If so, which is the best?
3. How do we best develop sustainable technologies for infrastructure?
4. How will nanotechnology be helpful in civil engineering in the near future?
5. What is the best method of construction management?
6. How will geoinformatics transform civil engineering?
7. What is ecological engineering and how do we best practice it?
8. What is the best method of transforming the railway infrastructure to make it more efficient and reliable?
By the way, you can further specify these topics to relate to a particular country or place.
Question: Can you suggest some research paper topics about molecular biology?
Answer: How can plants be used to produce pharmaceuticals?
What is the use of the plant virus model system?
How can natural products be used in the treatment of diabetes?
Are algae systems the best way to produce synthetic fuels?
What are the possibilities of using 3-D printing of cells and molecules to solve medical problems?
Question: I am a ninth-grade student doing a research paper for my anatomy class. Do you have a suggestion?
Answer: You can pick an unusual bone or part of the body and research the importance of that part of the anatomy. For example:
1. How do the ear bones work to conduct sound?
2. What does the thyroid do?
Question: Can you suggest research topics regarding energy?
Answer: For energy topics, look for "environmental" topics on this article or just search all of my topics by Googling the subject you want and either "VirginiaLynne" or "Owlcation." Because I've written so many different articles, I actually have trouble keeping track of which topic is written in which article, so I use Google to search within my own articles to find a particular topic, and you can too!
Question: What do you think of the topic, What are the physics of a marching snare drum?" for a science research paper?
Answer: Your topic is an interesting idea and represents a kind of Explaining argument essay. Your topic will work if your instructor doesn't mind that you don't have a topic which is arguable.
Question: What do you think of, "Why do most women get breast cancer?" for a science research topic?
Answer: I'm not sure that this would be a clear and easy question to answer. Try one of the following:
1. What are the most important things that predispose women to breast cancer?
2. Are there things the average woman can do to help prevent breast cancer?
3. How can women avoid breast cancer?
Question: I am interested in starting a STEM Capstone course at my high school. Where do I begin?
Answer: A STEM capstone course is an excellent idea to get students interested in pursuing a STEM career. Students enjoy researching the latest in technology and medical advances. What I have done in my courses is give students a good, basic article in a recent discovery. I ask them to read, summarize and respond to the article. Part of their summary includes giving at least three possible research questions. Then each student presents what they have learned to the whole class. After their presentations, I compile all of the possible research topic questions and let them choose which one they want to pursue. Many of the articles and questions I have listed on my science and technology topic articles are generated by my students or in class discussions. Most of these questions have been used by my students to write a research paper. You can have your students use my article here and my technology article to get a start. Then for instructions in writing, you are welcome to have them look at my articles about writing research papers.
Question: Can you suggest research topics about life or biological science?
Answer: Here are some life sciences topics:
1. What are the most interesting recent discoveries deep in the ocean?
2. How is studying the microbiome of the planet going to be important to environmental studies?
3. How can we best make food more nutritious in developing nations?
4. How can we prevent pandemics?
5. How can we prepare for the eventual post-antibiotic world?
6. Can changing their microbiome help people overcome problems of stress, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder?
Question: I am a grade 8 student. I'm having difficulty finding a good topic that has a connection to Biology. Can you help me? Or make a suggestion for an essay topic about biology?
Answer: I have a many different topic lists and some are easier for younger students and include topics that are Biology or science related. Check out these articles for ideas, look for "health topics," "Medicine," or other issues relating to Biology: https://hubpages.com/humanities/150-English-Essay-... This article has a list of many topics, a topic generator and also gives you steps for starting your paper: https://hubpages.com/academia/Academic-Persuasive-... Don't forget to also look for my articles about how to write your paper step by step. You can find my articles on my profile, or Google "VirginiaLynne" and "owlcation."
Question: What do you think of the topic, "How can Darwin's Theory be used to prove similar behavior between humans and monkeys?" for a science research paper?
Answer: I think your question could be clearer:
1. Does Darwin's theory predict similar human and monkey behavior?
2. How does Darwin's theory help us analyze human behavior?
Question: What are some interesting topic ideas about astronomy and physics?
Answer: "Is there a multiverse? What is the evidence of a multiverse?"
"What was the universe like at the beginning of time?"
"How did the beginning of the universe make life possible?"
"What is the importance of string theory?"
"Are there other planets that support life?"

Hi Margaux, I have many more articles with research ideas. Some of them involve questions that you can research online and others could be questions you could do with your campus peers. I would suggest that you look carefully through my profile to find the other articles. I'm sure you can find a project that would work for your purposes!
Margaux Gillan on March 22, 2018:
I had an experience with true experimental research last year, but then it failed because my sampling method was off. I’m ought to make another research, whatever design, as a requirement to graduate. However, I don’t know what topic I should pursue. And I’m quite cautious of doing another experimental research type. These topics you’ve provided are indeed helpful, but then I don’t think I can use them in a small campus based research. Can you recommend any more topics that I may use? That can involve students (within our campus) for data collection. I’m a STEM senior high student by the way, if that could help.
Thank you so much. -Margaux
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on February 28, 2018:
Hi Selena. For a science journal, you need to record the date, the information you get from a source and the bibliographical information. Generally, I suggest that students write a short summary of the information they get from a source and then their response to that information, which can include what they learned, what questions the information made you think about, and what you thought was useful or important.
Selena Leong on February 27, 2018:
This real helped me I was looking for topics for my research paper for days. Great thanks alot.

ok thankyou so much you have been very helpful I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on December 12, 2017:
Hi Katie--I'd start with an example of when the physics of motion is helpful, or used, or happens in daily life. To decide which sort of motion to research, I'd go to some physics websites (or even Wikipedia) and look up the different kinds and see which one you find most interesting, or which one you think you could find the most information about. Sometimes, I suggest that before choosing a topic that students do some preliminary research, looking for information. If you can't find anything useful in 30 minutes or so, you should probably choose another topic.
katie eldeen on December 11, 2017:
hi Virginia, I love your articles. I'm doing a 10-15 page research paper on physics of motion. this is a huge topic and I really need a good attention grabber. I have no idea what section of motion I'm going to be discussing, I also need some advice there. if you could help I would really appreciate it

Hi Lily, I have a lot of different science fair projects I have designed. The one that seems to suit your idea best is "How does salt water affect seed germination." It is on owlcation, and you can find it by searching my profile page or googling it, or this link: https://owlcation.com/stem/Science-Project-How-Doe...
Lily on August 11, 2017:
Hi Virginia. I have a science fair coming up and I need help for a topic. So I've already put down environmental management as my topic and "destruction" as my heading because I was going to conduct an experiment on something else. But now that won't work and I'm planning on doing a research project. So do you have any ideas of what I could say that has anything to do with the destruction of the earth? It would help if you would reply ASAP. Thanks xxx

Hi Annie, you might try one of the following: Do multi media science presentations work more effectively to help students retain information? Which type of multi media teaching method is most effective for science students?
Annie Blase on July 29, 2017:
hi! ..I would like to have a research on teaching science through multimedia,, any suggestions what would be a good topic? Thank you..
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on July 10, 2017:
Jessica--Good topic idea! Something like: What is the value of space exploration of other planets for humans?
Jessica Jones on July 10, 2017:
I think something on how looking at other planets in the universe helps us learn more about our own would be a good topic

Hi Suzie! You've come to the right place. I have over 100 articles on writing and other articles on doing science projects. You can see my articles under my profile or just search for a topic. You can also see other articles written by me linked on the side.
Suzie Sheep on June 19, 2017:
Hello Mrs. I would like some more tips for my students in my class. They all need a project on something. Cheers.
Mini on June 18, 2017:
Thank you so much ma'am
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on June 17, 2017:
Hi Mini--I will add some microbiology topics. Thanks for the suggestion. Here are a couple of ideas taken from currently important research: What is the recent update on the Corynebacterium species and their clinical significance? What are the best ways for medical personnel to handle the growing problem of antibacterial resistance? Can older techniques like anti-microbial peptides be used effectively to treat bacteria?
Mini on June 17, 2017:
I would like to know some potential research topics related to medical microbiology. I am currently doing my bachelor's in microbiology.

Hi Gaea and Meeme, I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for in applied science but you might want to check out my science fair experiments or else look at my topics regarding technology topics.
Meeme on June 15, 2017:
hello :) your ideas are great but is there any physical science experiment? just a simple experiment please? we're already on experimental research.
Gaea on June 15, 2017:
Hi, the ideas are all great, but I'm looking for a topic for experimental research on physical or as they call it, applied science. Can you help me with that?
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on June 12, 2017:
Hi Purple--You might want to look at my article about Technology Topics. That one includes more links to articles. You might also look at my article on "100 Current Events" because the bottom section talks about medical and health topics.
Purple on June 11, 2017:
Hi, the ideas are pretty good but i'm looking for a quantitative research or experimental research related to the medical field. I have seen some from the given topics but i'm hoping there's more. :)
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on June 07, 2017:
Hi JJ-Try looking at my article on technology topics because that has a lot of links to help you out. If you are actually doing a science experiment and not just a research paper, I have a lot of different step-by-step experiments too. You can find them by going to my profile page.
Jj on June 07, 2017:
Are there easy topics that a secondary student could handle. Your ideas are good but its hard
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on May 17, 2017:
Hi Anne--You might want to look at my article on 100 Technology ideas. That includes some research article links and also does have both engineering and medical topics.
Anne Nonaemusk on May 17, 2017:
Just wanted to say that this website is very helpful in our PR 1, but my classmate and I are still confused on what research topic to tackle. I'm pursuing the medical field (STEM); my friend's engineering (STEM). Could you please suggest some topics for the both of us? We'd also greatly appreciate suggestions coming from the fellow readers.
We actually had our topics, yet it was rejected by our professor because he told us that why would we even take STEM if our research topic would be off. So, we're struggling now in changing our topic. Please reply ASAP? Thank you very much! -A. N.
Ananya on May 12, 2017:
Great! Thanks for the ideas!
Everest on May 12, 2017:
These are really great topics, some just give me an existential crisis though.
Cristina Narvaez on May 12, 2017:
Very helpful and mind blowing topics..
austinedgmon on May 11, 2017:

Mike on May 10, 2017:
Thank you for your collection of topics.
