The document discusses scientific inquiry and conducting a capstone research project. It defines science as knowledge derived from observations and experimentation that is objective and logical. A capstone research project is designed for high school students to conduct experiments that draw together their experiences to answer a research question. Compared to a thesis, a capstone project has a broader scope, requires more time, and allows students to synthesize prior knowledge and solve real-world problems. The document provides references for further information on capstone research projects.

✳ more detailed
endeavor

knowledge to existing
scientific literature
✳ address generalized
and broader topics
✳ require more time
