SCIENCE RESEARCH    1 Credit

Prerequisite: One year high school science and teacher recommendation     Full Year

This science elective is the first year of a three-year independent science research program. Students are introduced to research and the use of the scientific method, statistics, types of investigations, and basic laboratory techniques. Students begin to research a topic of their own choosing and conduct an exhaustive review of the literature available on the topic. Students communicate with authors of scientific journal articles and propose a research hypothesis and experimental design. In the second year of the program, students will conduct their own research, gather and statistically analyze their data and report their findings to the scientific community. Students will enter local, state and national science competitions during their third year in the program. Projects may be in the areas of biology, chemistry, physics, technology, engineering, earth science, or social sciences. Students are expected to continue to enroll in a traditional science sequence in addition to participation in the research program.  TOP
