The National Science Foundation makes possible a number of opportunities for undergraduates to join research projects each summer. This allows students to experience first-hand how basic research is carried out, and to contribute consequentially. The principal support by NSF of such activities is through the Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program. REU "Sites" are established in all fields of science, mathematics, and engineering. Each Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates, who work in the research programs of the host in...

"The Student Challenge Awards Program (SCAP) was initiated by The Durfee Foundation in 1990. The program strives to excite the imagination and expand the potential of arts-gifted high school students, and to stimulate the students' curiosity about science and technology. Award recipients spend two to three weeks assisting the summer research activities of scientists who have also demonstrated a strong interest in pre-collegiate education."

A successful science experiment has seven parts: Question (or problem to be solved); Research (a review of what has already been done by other scientists); Hypothesis (what you think the answer will be; an educated guess); Materials (like the ingredients list for a recipe, everything you need); Procedure (how to carry out a controlled experiment, like r...

This article provides an introduction to the key aspects of the research paper genre. True research papers are more than a loose collection of anecdotal memories or a patchwork of data pulled from several books. But while new to most first-year college students, a research paper can be incredibly exciting, rewarding, and even comforting to write because it finally allows you to really get into a subject you care about with both hands while having added security--a proverbial squad car of "back up" to support you while you explore those dark all...

This WebQuest is an exciting opportunity for high school students to improve their logical thinking skills while having fun - all at the same time. Students examine the presented evidence and, through deductive reasoning and logic, determine what is relevant; they are also taught the concept of circumstantial evidence.

The book demystifies the research process and provides tools students need to shape their research into substantive, well-written products that communicate with readers. Combining research with compelling writing is challenging for upper elementary and middle school students, but when done well, reports embody the passion that every student brings to the subject she or he loves.
