The 1995 PGSS Team Research Projects
"Cyber-Publishing Page"
This summer PGSS students are carrying out team research projects in each
of the five major scientific disciplines -- biology, chemistry, physics,
mathematics, and computer science. These projects will result in the production
of written reports that will eventually be published in the Journal of
the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences , an annual publication
of CMU's Mellon College of Science.
Listed below are links to documents which contain information about each
of the research projects being conducted this summer. These documents will
initially contain brief descriptions of the projects, but -- through student
ingenuity and creativity -- will eventually be expanded to give W3 readers
greater insight into the discoveries and "inner workings" of each
of the project groups.
Please come and check out each of these team project pages !
