Research Project Seminar-9
Research Project Seminar 9 is devoted entirely to teaching 9th grade students basic research skills. In teams, students will design and implement two psychology projects by way of learning how to properly control scientific experiments, how to keep a detailed experimental notebook, how to search the professional literature, how to statistically analyze data, and how to present findings to the public in the forms of a scientific paper, a Power Point talk, and a poster board display. All students compete as teams at the end of the year in the “Great Neck North Freshmen World Cup”. Additionally, students will conduct several other investigations that exemplify various laboratory techniques and methods of statistical analysis. Incoming freshman from North Middle School will be invited to apply to Research Project Seminar 9.
Research Project Seminar
Research Project Seminar is a mentorship program designed for those students in all grade levels who wish to do independent and original research in science, engineering, and one of the social sciences such as psychology or economics. This course is also appropriate for students who wish to enter various science and engineering competitions at the state and national level. Select students are invited by the Science and Social Studies Departments to apply for this program. Selection is based upon a student’s grades in math and science classes, recommendations from the student’s science and/or social studies teachers, and the quality of any research work completed by the student. At the end of 10th grade, students will select either a natural or social science project and register for either Science Research or Social Science Research in the 11th and 12th grades.
Research for Seniors
Qualified science students who have completed a significant science research project by September 1st of their senior year should register for this class.
You will be expected to meet a series of deadlines leading to the completion of an Intel Science Talent Search or Westinghouse research paper and application. In addition, you will be expected to enter your paper in several other science competitions including the Long Island Science & Engineering Fair and the Shipley Ronal Invitational Science Fair.
