...Plenty of space for anything you want
Project #1: Build your Planck model: The paper parts for a Planck model can be found at [1]. Kat's model (the one furthest to the right above) actually has the reflection of the focal plane in the mirror the correct way up.
Project #2: Launch costs: What is the relationship between launch cost and satellite size is. Does it cost more to go where Planck is, or to go where television satellites are, or to go where the international space station is?
Project #3: One Jansky is the flux density you receive if you hold a 60W light bulb at what distance?
Proposal Structure: 1. Title 2. Goal: What are you going to do 3. Motivation: Why are you going to do it 4. Methodology: How you are going to do it 5. Timescale: What is the plan and what are the milestones 6. Questions and concepts you expect to understand and share with the students. ("Involving students involved in the data analysis" is not a good answer - details please) 7. What new teaching skills do you plan to develop based on this research program
