SERC's High School Environmental Science Programs connect classroom studies with real world science applications through hands-on field investigations and SERC resources. The program affords students and teachers flexibility to engage with environmental science and field research on a level fitting to their course needs, ranging from day trips to semester long collaborative projects, intro level to advanced placement.
