Every student will complete a research project in the spring semester. Students in 9th grade may CHOOSE to use their Physical Science “Design-Build” project for their Science Research project. This will save time and effort. On the other hand, students who are particularly interested in a topic that does NOT fall into the category of “design-build” may choose to do a second, separate project for Science Research.
