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!

'Frustration' objects - mismatched geometric shapes lead to objects with interesting propoerties

 This is a neat study out of the U. of Michigan, where researchers used natural structures made from a variety of different, and often complex, shaped pieces. Interesting properties of the structures result, from really hard shells to flexible, but strong, objects. 

This could be a cool type of study to do for those with 3-D printers, where you can try to find interesting shaped pieces to build complex, but useful, structures and objects.
