The project revolves around the energy produced in various types of chemical reactions (a key concept in all chemistry classes) and asks students to propose a useful source of chemical energy after engaging in a series of hands-on experiments and online activities. I appreciate how this project not only requires students to think deeply about their experimental results, but also how it asks them to apply them in a new context. Students not only collect and analyze data, they must seek a useful purpose or application of their results, giving the project real-world relevance.

This is a pretty short activity, but I thought it was interesting and relevant. It could be paired with students watching videos of old shuttles, etc.

This project looks like a great way to teach perimeter and area in a relevant and realistic situation. Students will create a subdivision keeping in mind the costs, designs, math, and planning that is a part of the process. They will work with scale drawings of houses, cost breakdown, and subdivision design. This project implements math skills, advertising skills, and writing skills into a interesting and active project.
