Due to COVID-19 and state shutdowns, summer research programs and lab opportunities for high school students and undergrads in college have been closing and cancelled. While this is truly disappointing, it is the safe and right thing to do to prevent a possible second-wave of the pandemic.
The CABS approach, which provides options and potential research ideas and questions for different areas of science, does not require professional labs or equipment. While this type of home research is not nearly as 'sexy' as working on cancer treatments or doing low temperature research at nearly absolute zero, it can be legitimate original science research. It can be competitive in local, state and national science contests. It is publishable in high school research platforms and even in teacher professional journals.
Please consider it if you still are interested in going through the science process from scratch. Go to the pages that are linked on the right side of the home page to begin finding research ideas and questions. And stay curious!! That is at the core of being a scientist!
