Scientific Research is similar to AP Research without the College Board requirements. It is a UC approved lab science and gives more flexibility in the timeline etc. In this course, students learn all the lab skills and techniques, conduct literature review, find a topic of interest, come up with a research question, find the appropriate method(s) to conduct research and collect data. The course requires a lab notebook, an original research project, a poster board, a research report and presentation/defense at the Local Science Fair or another Science competition. Students connect with local professionals throughout the course as they work on the research projects.
