Building a bomb calorimeter sounds like a great science fair project,
especially if the student designs it and modifies it several times trying
to get it to work better. Building one from someone else's plans does not
sound like science at all to me. I can see there is some danger involved
with this particular project and I do not know the age or maturity of the
particular student thus the above comment may be completely off base.

Yours in Science,
