1. If you park your car under a neem tree, the sap sticks to the car and is very difficult to wash off.  Where does this come from – the leaves, the trunk?  What is the composition?  Is this a good adhesive?  Test adhesive properties?  What can it be used for?  Is it biocompatible?  Can it be used in water?
  2. Mangroves are plants that survive in very salty water (seas) – how do they desalinate the water? Can there be a design for a desalination plant based on such plants?
  3. Effect of storage on Vitamin C content of oranges/lemons etc. See details of techniques at the Science Buddies site.
