Resource summary

Topic
  1. Easy to fit with the EPQ requirements
    1. This topic is appropriate as an EPQ as it will not require help from others as it si primarily research focused.
    2. Time
      1. Given the project is primarily focused on research, much of the information gathering could be completed ove the summer holidays. This would also give acadmeics enough time to reply to queries.
      2. Achievability
        1. The project will primarily be a research task with little to no practical element: it will cover a range of topics in physics whilst forcusing on a central idea.
          1. The research may have a large enough scope to qualify for an EPQ, however with little information at the planning stage this is unsure.
        2. Personal interests
          1. I have a deep love for physics, particularly astonomy and astrophysics. Planet IX is an issue which has plagued astronomers for years; I would find it extremely enriching to gain insight into this bizar phenomenon.
          2. Help available
            1. Along side a larege veriety of secondary sources online, there are many experts and researchers working on this topic; they could potentially be contacted for information, advice and feedback.
            2. Your motivation
              1. I want to gain knowledge an information in a topic I love.
                1. I wish to partake in an EPQ to gain practice in compiling reasearch.
              2. Ease of finding information
                1. Much of the information is availale online. Beyond that, information will be available in journals, textbooks and directly form experts.
                2. Current coursework
                  1. None of the A-level physics courses include Planet IX in any reguard so there is little danger of repeating work..
                  2. Ethics
                    1. No question of ethics will play into the question (it reguards a planet in deep solar system) beyond the ethics of using other researchers data.
                    2. Current knowledge
                      1. I know enough about the topic to engage in polite conversation but beyond a hobyists interests I know little about the details.
                        1. I know enough about the principles of the topic (planetary orbits, gravitational effects etc) that little of the basic principles will come as a shock.
