In the 9th and 10th grade exhibitions, students are expected to conduct original experimental research on a topic of their choice. Students' hypothesis must be well defined through initial research, and must be testable. They are responsible in carrying out their design and implementing the actual experiment. Students are expected to present their work in front of a committee of teachers, administratiors, community members and their peers.
Students who succeed in the science exhibition demonstrate independence and a solid sense of inquiry and curiousity. They work closely with MsChien as well as other adults to assure the success of their project.
