Young Researcher

This option aims to provide the participants with a sense of what zoologists, especially ethologists, do and how they might design and carry out a study to answer a particular question they have about a species or a particular animal.  The use of the scientific method and modifying a question such that it can be answered in measurable parameters, the process of collecting data, tabulating it and brainstorming with fellow Young Researchers, as well as discussing with the Head of Service Learning Program, is of great value in the learning achievements of a Young Researcher.  Students are able to focus on a particular animal of their choice and ask a question that is of interest to them.  The program hours are 9am-4pm
