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!

Math Modeling contest - a good way to build student teamwork and analytical-problem solving skills

 Math modeling for high school students is a nice pathway to build up analysis and problem solving skills. For instance, the COMAP High School Math Modeling Competition allows small teams of students two weeks to try and develop a viable, reasonable solution to an open-ended, complex, real-world problem. This is unlike typical math problem solving in school, and allows students to break free with a wonderful challenge that requires their creativity and skills in numerous STEM areas. They also have the experience of doing some technical writing. So many of the skills students can develop and grow with these experiences only enhance and help with science research. Encourage students to try this. Another opportunity is the MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge
