I have a few grade 12 students who are in need of a highly academic level science project for a science fair. These students are dedicated and want to earn some scholarship money. Anyways, I have access to many chemicals and what-not and they would like to know a high academic level project.

If they would like to attempt the science fair project on an electrical, and mathmatical level, you can have them construct a "Tesla Coil" for the project. This would defintely be a highly academic science project, but can also be very dangerous.
It would require a lot of time and calculation to develope the tesla coil, but after constructing the coil, it can be used for numerous other experiments. By the way, the reason I suggested a "Tesla Coil" is I am currently researching the device, and soon plan to build my own Tesla Coil.
Here is an image of a small tesla coil.
