OPTION EXPERIMENT: Engage as a student scientist for Honors Physics and Astronomy
Have you ever wondered....
How would you complete that statement? Now, with your training in Teaming methods, you are ready to conduct your own investigation. It won't be easy - but the more you put in, the more you will get out of this opportunity.
This investigation can be completed individually or as part of a 3-4 member research team. If individually, you will need to complete the 4 roles as one student, following a simplified set of rubrics. If as a team, you will need to use the enhanced guides to complete your study
