2016-2017 is the first year of Walt Whitman High School science research program. This program is for 9-12 grade students interested in research. This program will provide students with opportunities to further develop their independent science research skills. I will help students develop these skills through a year-long research project in science, math, or technology.

The research class meets for one period every day for a full year. The progress of each student will be evaluated by successful completion of the course requirements which include the completion of a major science project. The progress of each student will be evaluated by successful completion of the course requirements with an emphasis on research design, writing and presentation skills. Participants in the course are encouraged to continue in the research program throughout their high school career.

For you and your child’s benefit I have created a comprehensive science research website containing program information, due dates, useful research tools and pertinent Internet links. As always, if you have any questions or require further clarification about the research program, please do not hesitate to contact us.
