Science Inquiry
-
This course is designed to meet state science standards 1, 5 and 6. In this class, students will become familiar with all aspects of the scientific method, both library research and hands-on experimentation. The students will explore the use of technology in science and data collection and gain a better understanding of science as “a way of knowing”. A large portion of the course will involve the development of an individualized research project that will be displayed at the science fair. This class begins the second semester of the freshman year and allows students to have more curriculum background as they devise their projects. It will also enable them to extent their projects through the summer months and into the fall of their sophomore year, if they so choose.
