Greetings! Briefly, here's my situation. A grant I wrote was recently funded resulting in a new science course to be offered at my high school. The course will be offered to seniors who have completed bio, chem, and physics. The focus of the course will be independent research science in which the student selects a topic and performs research (call it a science fair project, if you wish). Ethics, application of the scientific method, data analysis and the research paper will be the main points. It will be team taught be a language arts teacher, a statistics/sociology teacher, and myself. (Yes, the administration has approved all 3 of us in one room simultaneously!) Since the wheel has already been invented, I'm looking for blue prints. If you know of such a course offered at some high school or have some pearls of wisdom to offer, please contact me. I'm looking for tips, hints, warnings, and advice. I promise I'll mention the names of those who reply during my acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize I'll win for pulling this off. Thanks, in advance!
