In today’s paper, we take a look at science research courses in the Lower Hudson Valley. (See it here). The intensive programs allow students to choose topics that interest them and study them independently for three to four years.
These are not like the science projects you remember from school, such as connecting wires to turn on a light bulb or pouring baking soda, vinegar and dish detergent down a mound of dirt to make a “volcano.” In most cases, projects in science research courses are very high-brow.
Take a look for yourself. To go along with today’s story, we conducted interviews with students in science research classes throughout Westchester and Rockland. Beginning with Jeremy Blum, a senior at Byram Hills High School and the area’s only finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search this year, they talk about their projects in their own words. We’ll post others over the next few days.
