During this year students will offer presentations on their research findings to their teacher, class, and school community. Students will make use of statistical analysis programs in order to evaluate the results of their work.

At the end of the year, the status of each student will be reviewed. There is a mandatory summer research component at the end of this course. Prerequisite: Advanced Science Research 2.
