Advanced DIY Science for Students?

Adam Wise asks: "I'm a high school senior planning a career in science, and I don't have any plans for the summer. I'd like to put these two facts together to entertaining and educational results of the do-it-yourself variety. Reading about the home made electron microscope got me thinking along the lines of a similar project. Are there any resources specifically geared towards DIY scientists beyond baking soda and vinegar volcanoes?"

How about Biology?

You're a high school senior - about to graduate. Perhaps you could begin your carreer in biology with a minor in sociology. To get started in these fields, first put down the microscope. OK. Now you're ready to begin the experiment. You need sample subjects. Go meet some people. "Make friends" with them. By this, I mean talk to them, socialize with them, see how they act. That takes care of the sociology part. Now for the Biology part. Choose a someone in your sample population who happens to be of the opposite sex as yourself. Socialize more with this one than with the others. Do what it takes to get this one to want to socialize more with you. Continue this until it the socialization becomes much more than that of the other members of the sample population. Eventually, you will learn about biology via the anatomy of the opposite sex. Perhaps you'll even get to see boobies! (Or flying sperm, if you prefer.)
