These Projects were developed by FONFA initially for students at Cantrell School in Southampton. They are all subjects for which there are references easily accessed via the Internet or through inexpensive books that are in print and easily available in the locality or through library reference sources. New Forest area schools will be provided with a CD Rom which will contain both this list and sources for the study information.
