High School physics science project

In summary, a 10th grade high school student is looking for ideas for an advanced physics project that involves experiments, not just models or basic topics like throwing a ball. They are also seeking information about physics internships in the NYC, Western Connecticut, and Albany areas, and are suggested to reach out to local colleges or universities for volunteering opportunities.

I would suggest focusing on a topic that interests you and applying the principles of physics to conduct experiments and analyze data. Some potential ideas could include investigating the relationship between temperature and the speed of sound, exploring the physics behind roller coasters and designing your own model, or studying the effects of different types of energy on the environment. By choosing a topic that you are passionate about, you will be more motivated to conduct thorough experiments and analyze your results critically. Additionally, consider reaching out to a physics teacher or mentor for guidance and support throughout your project. Good luck!
