Research project

This year I had to chose a topic to do for the research project, that is a project that all the batxillerat students  had to do individually and counts 10% of the entire mark of the batxillerat that is extremely important to the final mark combined with the PAU results to be allowed in any university. This project is not like a normal project because we have since March when we chose the topic to December, when we have to finish the project. Apart from that it has to be something that you can't only search on the internet or on a few books but you have to do a practical part that could be to read some books and make your opinion, make experiments and make your own conclusions, do interviews and surveys...

This day 15 of February we had to chose one of the topics proposed by the teachers or we can propose one. I knew that I want to do it about something related with biology or medicine but I didn't like any propose of biology so I decided to propose a topic. 

First of all I thought in do it about the blood pressure because it was an interesting topic and I could do the practical part doing tests with the sphygmomanometer, calculating the blood pressure and then doing statistics with this. Finally I couldn't do it because the teachers tell me that this topic was done from another year so I had to change.

The second option was to do it about the pulmonary capacity and do something similar to the blood pressure project, but this project was done too.

Finally I had to chose the topic about the obesity and overweight because it was time to chose the topic and I had not any topic yet.  I think the practical par could be to calculate the IMC of people, and follow some diet or something similar. This topic is good too but I think that is more difficult in the practical part, because is a bit difficult to go with somebody and tell him "Oh, you that are obese, can you help me with my project" but I can't change my topic now so I have to done it the best I can.
