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!

Hydraulic jump research - a personal favorite for high school students

 One of my favorite 'basement research' experiments is anything investigating hydraulic jump. There are so many ways a student can 'tweak' an old experiment to make it their own, that it makes for an effective subject from which to get numerous projects/studies. 

This is an article that mentions numerous types of studies that have been done, and that we can be clever with to build upon and get new ideas for our students to investigate! There are good references, as well, where details about experiments can be found. And don't forget, new ideas and how to pursue them can always be gained using AI platforms, such as ChatGPT.
