This science research program led by Mrs. Kimberly Fleming allows students to explore their chosen topics, apply science content practically, and develop skills like note-taking and time management. Students can earn up to 12 college credits, enhancing their college applications. The 3-year course spans from sophomore to senior year, where students design and conduct experimental studies with guidance. Sophomores focus on refreshing the scientific process, narrowing down topics, and seeking mentors. Juniors design research plans, obtain approvals, and conduct research, leading to seniors completing their projects and presenting their findings.
