High School physics science project

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking ideas for advanced physics projects suitable for a high school student, with an emphasis on experimental work rather than basic models. Additionally, there are inquiries about physics internships for high school students in specific geographic areas.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests advanced physics project ideas that involve experiments, indicating a desire for depth beyond basic concepts.
  • Another participant inquires about high school physics internships in the NYC, Western Connecticut, and Albany areas, expressing interest in opportunities regardless of pay.
  • A participant suggests that more information about the inquirer's physics background is necessary to provide relevant project ideas.
  • Another suggestion is made to approach local colleges or universities to inquire about volunteer opportunities in their labs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not present a consensus, as participants are offering different types of assistance—project ideas versus internship opportunities—without resolving the initial request for project suggestions.

Contextual Notes

The inquiry about project ideas lacks specific details about the student's current knowledge or interests in physics, which may limit the relevance of responses.

Does anybody have a good idea for an advanced physics project for a high school student (10th grade). not just models or the angle to throw a ball the farthest stuff but I still want to be able to do experiments. Thanks

High School Physics Internships

Does anybody know of good high school physics internships near NYC, Western Connecticut, Albany area? They don't have to be paid internships.
 
You need to tell us more about the physics you know before we can help you, what kind of physics education have you had?
 
go to your local college/university and walk around to various labs asking if they need a volunteer
