Science Extensions

Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought.
--Albert Szent-Gyorgi

What are Science Extensions?

Science extensions can be as little or as much as you make of them. On- Level students are required to complete THREE by the end of the semester, Pre-AP students will be required to complete FIVE by the end of the semester. They can be critical thinking exercises, experiments, research, or outings with the family as long as they include some element of science! Some can be completed in the classroom, and some can be done at home. Anything a student does beyond the required amount will be counted as BONUS points!
