New Ideas!!

I'm looking for new ideas on our "big" research project. This project will include a 10 slide PowerPoint that you will present to the class.  I'm hoping to do something different this year and would like your input.  In the past I have done: National Parks, States, Celebrity Heroes, and Zoos.  In a comment below, post an idea you have for a broad category to do your research on.  If you like any of the above ideas, you can list those as well.
