In conjunction with the State University of New York at Albany, Scotia-Glenville High School is offering an elective science research course starting in the 2009-2010 school year (pending board approval). In this course, students do what professional researchers do, from planning a project to conducting research and publicizing the results. As the work progresses, the student writes research papers, creates posters, and presents research findings at available competitions and symposia. It is open to incoming sophomores and offers the potential to earn up to 12 State University of New York credits. All incoming sophomores are welcome to apply. This course would be an elective and is in addition to the required New York State Regents science classes. An informational meeting will be held on December 2, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. in room A-30 of the High School. Interested students and parents are encouraged to attend.
