Hi,

Based on your description, I think you're doing this project on Sciencebuddies.com: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p032.shtml
You should research the following terms:

• piezoelectricity,
  piezoelectric crystal,
  dielectric,
  dielectric breakdown voltage.

Next, perform your experiment. Some of the materials may be hard to acquire, so you should start ASAP. Your project is due January 18, which is soon approaching. Good luck
