Science Research Program
Huntington High School’s science research program is designed to offer students a greater comprehension of research and methodology in the science and mathematics disciplines. It meets the needs of students who wish to pursue areas of original research. Participants will learn the skills required for scientific and statistical research.
Students develop a research topic, connect with scientists to study it and along the way hone the skills necessary to enter local, national and international competitions.
In this course students will experience both traditional and non-traditional classroom instruction. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Talks by scientists from local laboratories and other local technology-oriented businesses and organizations to acquaint students with various fields of research and presentation methods.
- Development of research and presentation skills through written projects, in-class PowerPoint and poster presentations and participation with school science fairs.
- Entry into an array of science competitions, culminating with the Intel Science Talent Search during the senior year, targets the acquired skills and helps prepare students for future work in college and beyond.
- Hands-on laboratory research experience in collaboration with local experts, including choosing a mentor, learning about a specific area of research and designing and implementing a personal project
