Ladybugs Great Science Research

In many advanced science classes, students are expected to conduct original experimental research on a topic of their choice. Students who succeed in the science research demonstrate independence, and a solid sense of inquiry.They work closely with MsChien as well as other adults to assure the success of their project.
