Student Projects

Scientific exploration is never finished. In the real world a scientist without a project is a hungry scientist! The best projects are those that lead to other projects. Therefore, those who are reporting their findings here might need collaborators for next year. Or you may wish to build upon any of those listed here.

A word to the wise: For entrance to a university, completing a good project is more important than getting super-stellar grades (think: Einstein or Edison, as role models). It is especially good to finish a project BEFORE your last year of high school, because then when you apply to a university you will have RESULTS to report along with any accrued honors and prizes. Incomplete final year projects with no results yet to show are little more than promises. Hence, plan to complete your projects BEFORE applying to universities! (And this, of course, later holds true also when applying for graduate school, internships and summer employment.) (Psst! The same holds true in the university - do a junior year project.)

Writing a science paper and need instructions? YES!blankAlas, no.
