Student research projects

Many teachers have asked for "ideas" to get students started with research projects related to the topics of space, agriculture in space, tomatoes, the environment, space travel, the International Space Station and Mars.

Since students can deal with research projects at many different levels of sophistication, the following list presents ONLY some potential research topics for students.

They cover a wide range of topics; obviously, science is the focus, but there are also links to other subjects including family studies, nutrition, environmental studies and geography.

The list of topics has the potential to be endless. The list was developed using "the availability of resources" as one of the key criteria. It should be viewed simply as a starting point for ideas related to student research.
