Student research programs offer students the principles and concepts of science, but also the opportunity to develop skills in other curriculum areas, including reading, language, problem solving, and writing. The brochure contains sections which specifically address the educational value of such programs, science days, project components, and implementation. A major section deals with planning and management of a science day, and includes information on: (1) scheduling; (2) judges; (3) volunteers; (4) performance criteria; (5) supplies; (6) floor plans; (7) programs; (8) publicity; and (9) awards.
