[IBC] FW: [IBC] science fair
I would like all of you to please help me think of a science fair project
that I could do. I want to do something that is related to bonsai, because I love bonsai so much. I was thinking on the line like the philosophy of bonsai, or something on that line. But I appreciate every idea that you guys can come up. Thanks, Luc Tran Zone: 8b ======== OK, hypothesis: Bonsai styles are affected by the culture of the people doing the Bonsai. You could look at the Chinese tradition, called Penjing, and the Japanese, Bonsai. You could tie the Chinese tradition to Buddism/Taoism and the Japanese to Shintoism.

Billy on the Florida Space Coast === Luc Tran wanted a science project, but he wanted to make it philosophical. I think Billy found a way to bridge the gap with an anthropological approach. He could also throw in the Vietnamese Hon Non Bo to make it even more interesting. I think it would be more useful, however, to investigate why Japanese maple leaves burn so easily. Or establish a scientific repudiation of any of a number of bonsai myths.

The cultural question is fascinating, of course, but as a judge at the local Science
Fair I can tell you that calling it a science project is a bit of a stretch. It would be more appropriate as a Social Studies or Art History project. The suggestions about investigating the causes of leaf and internode reduction, leaf burning, etc., are much more likely to result in a successful project. I'd certainly be interested in the results of such a study! Jay snip OK, hypothesis: Bonsai styles are affected by the culture of the people doing the Bonsai.

Jay: Somehow I just knew that there would probably be a bias toward biological and
physical sciences and against any of the social sciences! ;-) Alan Walker, Lake Charles, LA, USA http://LCBSBonsai.org http://bonsai-bci.com ============================== Jay Sinclair wrote: The cultural question is fascinating, of course, but as a judge at the local Science Fair I can tell you that calling it a science project is a bit of a stretch.
