text: First off when it comes to summer projects, it is true that students tend to put them off and focus on having fun. This causes students to lose some of the knowledge that they gained throughout the previous year. So when the student decides to do the summer project that's when they begin to regain the knowledge because they start using the brain to find information on the topic at hand or answer any questions that are asked. Doing this can help the student retain the information by linking it with a certain activity such as the summer project. I know that when I had summer projects to do by the time school started I remebered most of what I learned from the project so when school started i dint need to review anything cause I already remebered it from the project.
