Ideas to Use for Projects
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
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

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&q=323434&depNav_GID=1641 )
Glaciers in the Northeast?
Identify the area's soil types

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 )
*WARNING: Fuel cells can be expensive to purchase, but research is always acceptable.
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
