Intro to Science Research and Design (SRD)
Press Release Project
10th graders in Intro to SRD are learning experimental design and science communication skills by writing their own scientific press releases. These press releases play an important role in sharing new scientific discoveries in a way that is accessible to the general public. The students began by comparing published press releases to the research articles they promoted to identify interesting and effective strategies for sparking the public’s interest. Then, to demonstrate and apply their knowledge, they wrote their own press releases and created teaser videos for research articles of their choice to share with the BC community.
