About ten years ago, I had my high school science students use chipped stone flakes to scrape and cut different types of leather. We then took the chopped stone pieces up to Las Alamos Labs to the scanning electron microscope. The operator took micrograph pictures of the use wear found on the leading edges on each piece of chipped stone pieces. They went back and put together a Science Fair project and explanation of the digital images. It was a fun project and reflected experiments that were run on artifacts that I found when I was an archaeologist.

Very clever. Almost wish I could go back to high school to Learn what is being taught now!
I tend to like projects to supplement my standard curriculum ( not replace, supplement). Being a scientist before a teacher I have been lucky enough to introduce some real world science into many of my classes.
