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!

CABS as an option if summer research program is cancelled

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!
