My health teacher wants me to preform a simple experiment with the class , anything to do with psychology. Any ideas???? Thanks !

Try and see if parent relations have anything to do with grades in school? It's pretty basic, and has many speculations and limitations to it, but it doesn't sound like they are asking for something to scientific.

Expanding on the above, you could try checking how often students' families eat meals together and how well their performance in school is. It's been done before so it's not exactly original but it is usually a relatively easy point to display.

You could also check for correlations between divorced households, sleep, # of siblings, things like that and whatever other factor you want to compare against (grades is easy and school related).

Perform a Milgram experiment.

...just kidding. 🙄

If you want some cool cognitive psychology experiments, try some visual illusions. For example, show the class the mccullough effect, which can last up to days or hours, and they'll think its pretty wild!!
