Experimental Design and Research Methods (1 and 2)

Year 1- topic focus:  TBD

Year 2- topic focus: biology related

Ever wondered how scientists actually come up with discoveries? In this class, you won’t just learn about science—you’ll do science. You’ll design and run your own research project from start to finish, just like real scientists do.We’ll start by breaking down the big ideas—what’s a hypothesis, how do experiments actually work, and why do scientists care so much about things like controls and variables? Then, you’ll jump into hands-on research, collecting real data, organizing it into graphs and charts, and figuring out what it all means. You’ll even get to write lab reports and scientific papers like a pro.

But that’s not all—you’ll also meet guest experts and take field trips to see real researchers in action. By the end of the course, you won’t just know about science—you’ll know how to think like a scientist, ask big questions, and find real answers.

If you’re curious, love hands-on learning, and want to explore what it’s really like to be a scientist, this is the class for you!
