Astronomy - Comets: When learning about the various objects in our solar system, Saumik and his team decided to research about comets throughout the solar system and specifically the science behind them. From its composition to movement, they were able to tie back to many concepts in their science class. Click here to view the presentation.
Earth Science - Auroras: Saumik chose Auroras as his research topic after being curious about Auroras from his recent visit to the Northern Lights in Norway. He learned about the formation, dynamics, current research and much more. Click here to view his video.
Chemistry - Calorimetry: In this lab, Saumik had to determine the specific heat capacities of various solid materials via calorimetry. His research can be used in many real life scenarios such as creating nuclear shelters that can withstand enough heat for people to be safe. Click here to view his lab report.
