I definitely think you should do sports and technology. You would have way more fun researching this topic than the other 2. I'm sure lacrosse & skiing would have lots of information on them and there are lots of different ways technology could effect them. Sustainable energy would be easy to find information on, but you would enjoy your other idea much more knowing your tiny obsession with those two sports.

Well, I think that you are interested in skiing and lacrosse more then anyother topic. And the first topic seems to strike u the most. But if you choose sustainable fuel, then you can tie in global waming /skiing. And it might be a little easier to follow for 6 months because it is a broad topic. There are alot of magazines on skiing and technology, maybe not as much on fuel. Interviewing is equal both ways, you can interview anyone's opinion on either subject. Choose the one that you can find more information on.
Heyyyy Katrina.
Well it seems to me that you are fairly interested in sports technology more than anything else. I personally think the idea is really cool, and there's soooo much you can do with it so you won't ever get bored or run out of information. So as far as finding information, I think you're good to go! If you did do sports technology, you might want to narrow down exactly what you're trying to research. I noticed you had a ton of ideas which is really cool, but I think for this specific project you could just weed out some things and make your topic less broad. For this topic you could look at olympic athletes, different sportswear companies, and different brands and companies that advertise for certain people and teams. It'd be cool if you could talk with someone through that to see how it all works. You could also ask about the criteria and how they (the company) and the athletes or teams benefit from it all.
You also seemed interested in sustainable fuel. This would also be a really good topic to research because of the government and all the things that are going on right now. You could easily talk to the climate action club, or a local group or organization that is interested in that topic. This would definetly have a lot of up to date information, and it could be followed closely.
I think that either topic would be really cool to research. They both seem to have a lot of information about them that is easy to access. I personally think that the sports technology topic would be really cool, because I'm into that stuff as well. Good luck!

My three ideas
I am so excited to start isearch this year. Last year I really started to discover how much this project can be personalized. So this year, when I can pick anything, I have decided to choose between three topics which really interest me. The first is how technology influences sports and athletes. This topic could include my favorite sports, skiing and lacrosse as well as others. My other two topics to choose from are America’s Healthcare, and sustainable fuel. Sustainable fuel is the other topic which really appeals to me. I would love to research this topic, but unfortunately I have to choose only one!
My first thought for this project was to search for something to do with lacrosse, it being one of my passions. Then I thought of skiing and how much I’d like to incorporate that into my topic choices as well. The problem with both of these ideas is it would be hard to focus on that subject and have anything to work on for the rest of the 5 months. Out of the blue I came up with the idea of technology and sports. It certainly effects pretty much every sport out there, and I’d love to learn more about this topic and research its finer points. Some things I would want to look into would be synthetic legs, swim suits, golf drivers and clubs, skis and there flex and shape, lacrosse heads and sticks, clothing that goes along with different sports, and possibly how Nike and large brands promote there equipment. For example, Red Bull and skiing, snowboarding, or other extreme sport logos advertize but sponsoring talented people to compete. Another thing to explore would be the use of steroids and other ways that athletes abuse technology to their advantage. I would love to look into this subject because not only is it very interesting, but it is a very current issue in our society.
My second leading idea is sustainable fuel. I’m really intrigued with this topic and how it is such an important issue at the moment. With high gas prices and a bad economy, many people are starting to look seriously at eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. This is a very current issue that would have loads of information to research. It is in all the newspapers and other media, and is also a very hot topic in the presidential debates. I found Google News to be a very good place to look for information on this subject because it is mostly all up to date. I feel like this is a really good subject to look into, but I feel like my other idea for sports and technology would be really captivating too.
My third and final idea for the isearch is America’s Healthcare specifically, but also how it compares to the rest of the world. There is no doubt that America’s healthcare system is not only very controversial, but also very, very important to the people of America. Daily expenses are putting families out of there homes, and for the people that are still hanging on, they’re either nearly on the edge or are having a really rough time with the changes in the economy. Within this topic I would explore the different viewpoints on possible solutions, the candidate’s views, how it really works, and compare our country to other countries to see if or what America could learn from other healthcare systems. This is also a very current issue which I found quite a bit of information on.
In the end I think that my decision is between my first to ideas. These are the areas that really get me excited. They make me want to know more; all the details and challenges that go along with both questions. With sustainable fuels I really want to research what makes this such a hard challenge and what new ideas are being thought up. It just sounds so intriguing! At the same time, I want to know what’s new with sports?! How technology affects records, tricks, and the way humans continue to push the limit. I would like to research them both, but I will have to settle on one instead.
