Science Independent Research Study 171, 172, 271

This independent study course provides students an opportunity to earn credit for independent scientific research as part of the department’s Science Independent Research Study (SIRS) Program. Under the direction of a member of the science faculty, a student will perform independent research that he/she will present at one or more research competitions. Credit will be granted when the student’s project is submitted for evaluation. While a student meets regularly with his/her faculty mentor throughout the research process, this is often done either during a student’s SRT or outside of the school day. Student projects are accepted through an application process. This course fulfills the science graduation requirement.

Prerequisite:

  • Successful completion of any biology and chemistry course AND recommendation by the Instructional Supervisor for Science.
