Hey,
Thanks for replying to me. I was also wondering what kind of EI questions EBS students are doing this year. I'm trying to get ideas for my own EI questions that I want to do next year if I get in.
Thanks
Hi,
The types of questions students are doing range from physics, biology and psychology topics, but any topic related to the sciences is doable. The Psychology and Biology topics are the most popular with my cohort. My topic is "Does the amount of social media notifications affect the amount of time spent on phones, for teenagers?" and i'm doing it in a survey format (Please help me out by completing my survey link:
https://goo.gl/forms/FnSi22A0mhHV5HoQ2[1-2min]). Other students are measuring the sediment within concrete, testing alginate balls in certain conditions, measuring mercury within fish, researching the physics behind trains, etc. Please note that your question at the interview does not have to be as detailed as the students undertaking extended investigation have had 7 months to work on their projects. I'll give some insight from my interview, during the interview I briefly outlined that I'd like to explore possible cloning techniques with prehistoric animals. The interviewer might ask why, and to what scale. But, note that the topic stated at the interview is not one that you have to stick with next year. They just want to assess whether you're enthusiastic about the program. If you'd like me to go more in depth about Extended Investigations questions and Extended Investigation as a whole please leave your feedback and I will respond.
Kind Regards,
