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!

I can't provide any help, but this sounds exciting as all get out and I 
eagerly await the chance to leech ideas so I can try and sell this to my 
administration.

Good luck!
