In this course we will use mathematical principles to describe natural phenomena. The class will involve many experiments done by the students both individually and in groups. Each 9 week period will include competitive projects that relate to the concepts being studied. The student will be expected to work in a productive fashion, independent of the teacher for much of the course. Only mature students should enroll.
Topics vary according to student interest.
Most individuals select material that is outside of, or beyond the general curriculum. Any student taking the class must apply when enrolling in the spring. The application requires the instructor s signature of approval as well as a general outline of activities. Design, build and submit projects of their choice for regional science fair. Compete in regional science fair competitions, such as, Science Olympiad, Science Superbowl or Envirothon.
