Senior Science Research

Overview

• The first goal of this class is to turn the lab work you've done into marketable products. Everyone will produce a research paper, a poster, and a PowerPoint presentation.
• The second goal of this class is to enter as many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics competitions as possible including the Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS), Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS), New York City Science and Engineering Fair (NYCSEF), St. Joseph's College High School Poster Session, Afro-Academic Cultural Scientific Technological Olympiad (ACT-SO), Brooklyn College Science Day, and others.
• The third goal of this class is to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through service to Midwood High School, New York City, and the world.
• Grades are based partly on how much you do (the more things you try, the better your grade will be) and partly how well you do them (the better your work is, the better your grade will be). Important dates are in red. Students who fulfill the nominal class requirements will receive a grade of 85% (G) in the 1st marking period, 90% in the 2nd marking period, and 95% for the semester. There will be several opportunities for extra credit.
