Science research in high school is the ultimate experience a student can have. And by research, this does NOT mean typical high school lab activities you might do in one or two periods, but rather longer term work on something that is not necessarily known - the goal on this site is to help you find a topic and very specific research question that you can take on and try to literally discover something new. And the kicker is to do this without the need of professional labs or equipment! We hope you can do this in your school or in your home, with everyday materials. Or, perhaps do this on a computer at school or at home with computational work or accessing data sets that are online.
Go to the various pages of this site and you will find many research questions we have formed and provided initial information and suggestions in order to help you get started. Typically, the hardest part of the research process for anyone is to find that specific question that has not been looked at before in a serious study - here, you have many options in a variety of fields of study, so have fnu with it, find something of interest to you, and think about how you can design and setup controlled experiments to collect data and possibly an answer to the question! DO THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE, from start to finish, and look for that answer that no one else knows!
What is CABS?
This site will help high school students and teachers find original, independent science research topics and questions that can be done without a professional lab...these can be done in a school lab or even in one's basement! The project ideas and research questions being developed and presented here have been vetted and could lead to true discoveries, and not just finding already known results. See our Welcome message. These are the types of projects that could be done and submitted to high school contests such as the Regeneron Science Talent Search, Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, or the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, and be competitive. If you have an idea to share, or a question about one of the project ideas, contact us at vondracekm@eths202.org.
Pages (on the right side of the screen) have lists of ideas for different types of science research projects, and clicking on one of those ideas will take you to posts with details and all sorts of information about that type of project. Get more information about why there is a need for CABS!
