school projects

Student homework tasks

School projects are assignments requiring students to research, create, or build something outside regular classwork—often over days or weeks.

They range from poster boards and dioramas to science experiments and group presentations.

The phrase evokes memories of last-minute trips to buy supplies and parental involvement that sometimes crosses into doing the work: My dad basically built that volcano for me.
