Our Outcomes
This project will be part of a semester-long elective for 9th graders. I hope to give the students an experience in carrying out a simple research project under the guidance of a scientist mentor. This will give them a preview of what it might be like to enroll in a 2-3 year-long Science Research course in which they would carry out an independent research project under the guidance of an expert mentor. Participating in Planting Science could be a good way to introduce 9th graders to what it may be like to ask a meaningful research question, design an experiment, and analyze data.
