I feel stupid at the moment, but we have to choose what we do as a school project for next week. The most popular ones are an amplifier and a speaker. What’s the main difference between them? Can I use a speaker without an amplifier?
It’d be nice, if I would make my laptop’s and screen’s speakers sound a little higher. Do I need an amplifier + speaker to do that, or would only a speaker make that? Overall what would you choose to make as a school project from these two?

Yes, you either need to build an amp, or, buy amplified speakers (they’ll have their own power plug). If you build your own amp, there are several online sources on how to build a headphone amp. The amplified speakers are your safest (and probably cheapest) & often come in ported enclosures.
You may want to see what your school has already for the situation. Check with the AV club (if you have one), and, your schools teachers, principals, and maintenance staff to see what’s already available.
