Chemistry

Compare DIY biodegradable plastic with PLA and PET using open life-cycle data, and build skills in LCA, material analysis, and sustainability modeling.

Measure how plant pigments change color with pH, build titration curves, and fit equilibrium constants from simple color data.

Measure protein cloud points across salts and connect the ranking to ion hydration energy with clear data analysis and simulation skills.

Measure heat of solution for deep eutectic solvents, then compare your data with predicted enthalpies using Arduino-based calorimetry.

Build a greener water treatment test and learn response-surface optimization by measuring how voltage, time, and pH change phosphate removal.

Build and test alginate microcapsules, then use conductivity data to model fertilizer release with Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas fits.

Test how glycerol changes film strength and water-vapor barrier performance, then turn simple measurements into useful packaging data.

Test how ZIF-8 synthesis conditions affect particle size and ethanol uptake, then build microscopy and video-based measurements into a clear dataset.

Train a small Transformer to propose greener solvent routes and score them with yield models, building skills in retrosynthesis, ranking, and evaluation.

Build a graph neural net to predict dye absorption maxima, compare it with TDDFT, and learn how molecular features drive indoor photovoltaic design.
