How Can CERN Solve Modern Physics Problems?

I'm in high school and would like to write a paper on physics for fun, any topic suggestions?

I think an essay about the history of physics would be an achievable goal at your age. Another possibility is an essay about the machinery: from Galileo's first telescope to FermiLab or CERN. Those are topics which can be reasonably easy to understand as well as found by some research effort. A specific purely scientific topic will either be too technical for you or your audience. I find especially historical facts and connections extremely exciting.

Ah, history, what a great idea. Thanks!

A promising one is the methods in which CERN might be able to crack some of the problems in physics.

However, history seems like a solid idea.
