Physic's project opinion?


I am presenting a project for a competition and my physic's teacher says its fine but i just feel my project is not difficult or advanced enough for my level. I am using Snell's Law n1sin(t1)=n2sin(t2) In order to find the speed of light in both glass and water. First I am placing a piece of glass on a table and setting t1=30 degrees. Then I am pointing a laser at the glass and measure t2. With these measurements and the accepted value of n1 through air i am going find n2 or the index of refraction through glass. Then im gonna use n=c/v to determine the speed of light through the glass. Now i have glass box with the same dimension as the glass before and im going to pour water in the box and using the information i calculated previously i am going to find the index of refraction and speed of light through water. Afterwards i am planning comparing the experimental values of the speed of light through glass and water to the accepted values. What do you think?

How are you doing the timing? A lot is going to depend on this, since the distances are so short that it will be easy to get large error bars (I assume more than one try each).
Can you add a third substance, such as clear quartz or plastic?
As for the water, how pure?
For fun (and I admit this is off the track a bit) see if you can also generate some Cerenkov radiation after you find the speed in water.
