Course description

Students are challenged to complete original and independent research that is characteristic of college-level courses.† SCHS students generate research questions; conduct a literature review; collaborate with content-area experts; develop a hypothesis; collect and analyze data; and present original research. This advanced laboratory course is intended for seniors interested in continuing their study through an independent project in science; technology; mathematics; or computer science.† Students participating in SRH should have a significant science background prior to entering the course. SRH projects are subject to considerable peer and teacher review during all phases of development. The focus of this course is on sustained; scientific inquiry. Students are expected to take responsibility for project development; meeting timelines; collecting data; defending procedures and presenting results. The instructor advises students on the research process; information sources and contacts. Instruction is also provided on such topics as data collection and presentation; statistical interpretation of results; protocols for research; and presentation skills.† Students will be encouraged to present their research at the regional science fair (SARSEF).
