Which Structures Perform Better During an Earthquake
Does the moon have any effect on Earth seismic activity?
Test several methods of landslide prevention to determine which is the most effective
Demonstrate seismology - build an earthquake machine
Which way is the most efficient way to protect dunes during a hurricane - baffles, sand filled bags or a wooden seawall?

Does Repetitive Flooding Affect Soil Absorption?
Which has the largest effect, chemicals, streams or frost action on the weathering of local rocks?
Which type of rock is most common in this area?
What type of ground cover would better protect soil from water erosion?
What Barrier to Wind Erosion Is Most Effective?
Is there a difference in the contents of soil from different areas?
Compare several different out-crops by constructing a geologic sequence and identifying the layers, folds, etc.
On a given day, does the moisture in the air differ from place to place?
Compare the rate at which different types of clouds are visible over the Bronx
