Research Topic Generator

A good research project starts with a clear question. Pick a field and press New question for an idea you can actually investigate, from microplastics in rivers to screen time and sleep.

Use the question as it is, or adapt it to your school, town or age group.

How to use the Research Topic Generator

  1. Pick a field: science, social sciences, health or technology.
  2. Press New question.
  3. Check you can find data or run a small study on it.
  4. Narrow it down to fit your time and word count.

What makes a strong research question

  • It's specific: who, where and what exactly
  • It can be answered with data you can collect or find
  • It isn't a simple yes-or-no fact
