4. Late in 2009 BBC Radio4 announced that they would be holding a competition “So you want to be a scientist?” It was a chance for non-scientists to turn their ideas into real life experiments. Throughout 2010, Material World - Radio 4's weekly science show - was searching for the BBC's Amateur Scientist of the Year. They were not looking for inventions, but real exploratory science of a local, personal, amateur-experimental kind. Over 1,300people applied online before the closing date. The panel of esteemed judges from the world of science selected four finalists. Read about the four selected experiments and answer the questions.


1) How is Sam going to test the greatest crowd density at a music gig?
Sam O'kell: The Gig Crowd Experiment

Idea: "I believe the greatest crowd density at a music gig is not at the front, next to the barriers, but three rows back between 6-10 feet from the front. I would test this by wearing a pressure sensing vest beneath normal clothes, and take readings at different locations in the crowd".

Ruth Brooks: Homing Snails
