[Killietalk] Killifish Research Projects?

[Jeremy Adams <frogfood at mac_com>]

I was hoping to get a few ideas on some research projects that I  
could have some of my students work on at the high school level.  
These would be juniors and seniors and they would have 6 to 8 months  
to start and complete their projects. This is an open topic  
scientific research class, where most students lean towards physics  
or chemistry. I would like to boost the biology side of things, and I  
think killifish would be a great model specimen. I am trying to think  
of a few possible ideas that I could use to help get them started,  
then let them run with it.

If you would like to see some of the animals we keep in my room, take  
a look at our class website. We have a list of killies that we keep  
in the fish album, but we have not had the best luck at taking  
pictures of our fish.
