Possible+Choices

Here are some ideas for possible projects. These are not your only topic choices. This page is meant to help you find a direction. I love to see students take their own direction and present me with an idea that is worth adding to this page. RETURN TO THE PORTAL
 * __Ideas to Use for Projects__**

__Microprocessors__

The EETT lab can be made available to any student who wishes to use a microprocessor in a project. PBASIC programing language and other programing languages Sensors Data collection Remote sensors Controlling appliances Would you like to operate the Homeostasis Chamber Contest? http://parallax.com/

__Space Exploration__

Pick a planet Pick a star Pick a galaxy Pick a comet Design a practical test for life on another planet and test it on ours Mars voyager project (http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/ ) Space probes



__Life Science__

Does a cold-blooded animal's feeding habits change with temperature? Make a model of a body system or organ Do a bio-diversity survey of your backyard Grow a micro-zoo and keep an observational journal of what you see Pollution and keeping our environment clean Green life-styles



__Earth Science and Geology__

Make a model stream/river/reservoir Create a home weather station and collect vital data. Present graphs of data and look for trends Safe drinking water Collect and identify rocks and minerals from the area Review area geology and look for signs of erosion/deposition (http://ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?a=2701&amp;q=323434&amp;depNav_GID=1641 ) Glaciers in the Northeast? Identify the area's soil types Identify wetlands in your area



__Chemistry__

Create an example of a semi-permeable membrane from an egg and demonstrate diffusion (http://www.chem.umn.edu/outreach/Card-SwollenEgg.html ) Fuel cells and how they work Design a fire extinguisher with baking soda and vinegar



__Physics__ Design an electrical circuit that does work Using a fuel cell to do work (http://www.h-fc.com/FuelCellKit.html?gclid=CObGqNOVh48CFRcbWAod9GRb2Q ) Design a solar heat collector Design a solar oven and cook something Design and test the ultimate pair of climbing shoes Design and test the best kind of ramp for loading/unloading a truck Clean energy generation
 * WARNING: Fuel cells can be expensive to purchase, but research is always acceptable.
