Hello everybody! It is kind of urgent.. my daughter is attending International Baccalaureate and needs to write an extended assay in Physics, and she has to perform an experiment and analyse it! I will be grateful for your help!
Many thanks in advance for your time!

Well, okay, and what is the title of the essay?

No title yet... she tried something herself but failed, and now wants a new original idea for the experiment and her school teacher is useless unfortunately

Does she has any preference and speciality in any of the topics?

Sorry, I have neglected your message... yes she wanted to do an experiment in electromagnetism (ferromagnetism), but right now she has no time left, and wants to do any kind of (suitable for high school lab) experiment but kind of original to be analysed after all and write an assay.

Well, if it were to be me, carrying forward the electromagnetism idea would be my choice.

The experiments can show how electromagnets can be powerful in lifting heavy objects, especially for the maglev train. People are considering using the magnetic field created to launch rockets. They are accelerated horizontally, then gradually the slope of the departing rocket increases until it is vertical and the rocket fast enough to escape the atmosphere.

Since you mentioned that, I only tried to expand on the idea of electromagnets.
